EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Albert Cooper, we are transported back to the 1st of March in 1966, witnessing a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases Herbert Hasler, one of the legendary Cockleshell heroes, diligently working on his sloop at the Don Fuller boatyard in Bosham, Sussex. As our eyes wander through the frame, we can't help but admire Mr. Hasler's expertise and dedication to his craft. With a tape measure firmly grasped in his weathered hands, he meticulously measures every inch of wood before skillfully shaping it into perfection. His years of experience as a carpenter shine through as he effortlessly brings life to each piece. The significance behind this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of boat building and carpentry skills but also in its connection to Operation Frankton and the Special Boat Service (SBS). These brave men were part of an audacious mission during World War II that involved paddling folding canoes for hundreds of miles into enemy territory. Herbert Hasler's presence here serves as a reminder of their courage and resilience. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the determination that fueled these heroes' hearts during those perilous times. Albert Cooper has masterfully captured both the essence of craftsmanship and historical importance within this single frame. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who risked everything for freedom and honor their indomitable spirit forever etched in time.
