EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming fishing quarter of Hastings in 1931. In this picturesque setting, we are introduced to Mr W R Hilder, a remarkable man who serves as both the ships doctor and engineer of the town's motorized lifeboat. A true one-of-a-kind figure, he not only tends to the medical needs of sailors but also dedicates himself to repairing model yachts sent from prestigious stores in London. But Mr Hilder's expertise extends far beyond local waters. He is renowned worldwide for his exceptional skills in restoring and re-rigging crippled watercraft that arrive on his doorstep from all corners of the globe. The workshop where he works tirelessly on these vessels becomes a hub of activity as boats from various countries find their way into his capable hands. In this photograph, we witness Mr Hilder engrossed in his work, surrounded by tools and materials necessary for boat repairs. Additionally, he proudly poses alongside an exact replica of the motor lifeboat Cyril and Lilian Bishop – a testament to his craftsmanship and dedication. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to an extraordinary individual whose passion for sailing crafts has made him an invaluable asset within the maritime community.
