EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the raw power of the stormy English Channel, the iconic paddle steamer Waverley bravely navigates the turbulent waters off Torquay Harbour in this evocative photograph from June 1979. The 70s-era vessel, with its distinctive black funnels, cuts through the towering white foam as the sea around her roils and churns. The land and coastal buildings in the background appear small and insignificant in comparison to the raw might of nature. The Waverley, a beloved transport vessel of the era, was a familiar sight on the English coastline, but few would have relished the prospect of facing such a storm at sea. The rough waters and heavy rain make for a dramatic scene, with the paddle steamer's sturdy construction and skilled crew on full display. This photograph, taken from Dartmouth, captures the essence of the 1970s coastal scene, with its mix of vintage transport, raw natural beauty, and the enduring allure of the sea. The stormy weather only adds to the sense of adventure and excitement, making for a truly unforgettable image.
