1932 Boulogne Channel Ferries Ferry Folkestone Funnel Leaving
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blast of Smoke and the Roar of Engines: The Boulogne Steamer Leaving Folkestone Harbour in the 1930s This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure of a steamer bound for Boulogne from Folkestone Harbour in the 1930s. The image, taken in the heart of the interwar period, offers a glimpse into the past when sea travel was a primary mode of transport between England and France. The steamer, with its distinctive funnel belching out thick plumes of smoke, is a testament to the power and might of the engineering marvels of the time. The harbour, bustling with activity, is a hive of excitement as families and travelers bid farewell to their loved ones, their faces etched with a mix of anticipation and sadness. The Channel, calm and serene, reflects the sky above, dotted with clouds that seem to mirror the shape of the steamer's funnel. The image is a reminder of the romance and adventure that came with sea travel, an experience that was both thrilling and nerve-wracking, especially during inclement weather. The 1930s was an era of change, and this photograph captures the essence of that transformation. The steamer, with its modern design and advanced technology, represented the future, a future where travel between the two countries would become faster and more convenient. As the steamer slowly moves away from the harbour, the smoke from its funnel dissipates into the air, leaving behind a trail of memories and stories. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era, an era of steamships, sea travel, and the excitement of crossing the English Channel to a new adventure in France.
