EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of a Selby Canal Barge from the early 1900s. The image transports us to a bygone era, where these majestic vessels were a common sight along England's waterways. The barge, with its distinctive Edwardian design, is beautifully captured in black and white, showcasing the intricate details of its construction.
The Selby Canal Barge was an essential mode of transportation during this period, used for carrying goods and materials across Yorkshire. The bargee, or boatman, would navigate the waterways with skill and precision, ensuring that their precious cargo reached its destination safely.
This vintage lantern slide offers a glimpse into the daily life of those who worked on these barges, highlighting the hard work and dedication required to keep them running smoothly. From loading and unloading goods to navigating through narrow canals, it was no easy task.
As we admire this historical photograph, we are reminded of the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped England's canal system. The Selby Canal Barge stands as a symbol of resilience and ingenuity, reflecting a time when these vessels played a vital role in connecting communities and driving economic growth.
Thanks to The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we can continue to appreciate and celebrate the legacy of these iconic barges from days gone by.
