EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the double-ended ferry, Resolute, is seen moored at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. The Resolute, owned by the Yarmouth & Gorleston Steamboat Company, was a popular means of transport for locals and tourists alike, connecting the towns of Yarmouth and Gorleston across the River Yare. The image captures a moment of tranquility as passengers disembark from the steamer, their expressions reflecting a sense of relief and contentment as they step onto solid ground. The men, dressed in hats and caps, don lifebelts as a precautionary measure, adding an air of seriousness to the scene. Seats and benches line the deck, providing a place for passengers to rest during the short journey across the water. The Resolute's sleek, steam-powered design is a testament to the engineering feats of the era, with its tall smokestacks billowing out plumes of steam. The cloche hats and flat caps worn by the passengers, along with their lifebelts, add to the sense of nostalgia and bygone era. The coastal setting, with the rolling waves and the vast expanse of water stretching out before them, adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a simpler time, when travel by sea was a more leisurely and romantic experience, and the pleasures of the coast were a source of joy and relaxation for many. This photograph is a reminder of the rich maritime history of Great Yarmouth and the important role that steamers like the Resolute played in connecting communities and transporting people across the water. It is a timeless image that continues to captivate and inspire, transporting us back to a bygone era of steam, sea, and simple pleasures.
