EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the natural wonder of The Trent Aegir, also known as the Eagre, at Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, England. The image, taken in November 1921, depicts the tidal bore on the River Trent, a unique and fascinating natural phenomenon that occurs when a high spring tide meets the downstream flow of the river. The result is a remarkable wave-like formation that travels upstream against the current, creating an intriguing spectacle for onlookers. The Trent Aegir, or Eagre, is a tidal bore that forms in the estuary of the River Trent, near the historic market town of Gainsborough. This natural occurrence has been a source of fascination for locals and visitors alike for centuries. The photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the raw power and beauty of nature. The River Trent, which flows through central England, is the third longest river in the UK, and its tidal bore is one of only a few in the country. The Aegir is a rare and unpredictable event, occurring only a few times a year, and is a popular attraction for those seeking to witness this natural wonder. This photograph, taken in 1921, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Trent Aegir and the natural world. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and power of the natural world and the awe-inspiring phenomena that can be found in our own backyard.
