EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the archives, the Massey Shaw fireboat makes its grand entrance onto the River Thames in London during its launching ceremony in 1935. The fireboat, named after Sir Oswald Massey Shaw, the former Chief Officer of the London Fire Brigade, is surrounded by a throng of onlookers, including firemen, firefighters, and members of the public. Their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation as they witness this momentous occasion. The fireboat, a vital addition to the London Fire Brigade's fleet, was designed to provide quick and effective firefighting assistance on the River Thames. It was an essential piece of transport for the brigade, given the numerous fires that could occur on the waterway. The Massey Shaw was a state-of-the-art vessel, equipped with advanced firefighting technology, and was a testament to the innovation and dedication of the London Fire Brigade. The launching ceremony was a festive occasion, with a bottle of champagne broken against the bow of the boat to signify the start of its service. A woman in a smart hat and coat holds a bouquet of flowers, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The firemen and firefighters, dressed in their uniforms, are seen smiling and laughing, creating a sense of camaraderie and unity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the era of the Massey Shaw fireboat's launch. It is a reminder of the history and tradition of the London Fire Brigade and the vital role that fireboats play in protecting the city's waterways.
