EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1960, just a few days before the start of the Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race. The brainchild behind this daring race was none other than Herbert "Blondie". Hasler, who can be seen in the picture diligently working on the deck of his yacht Jester. Hasler, known as one of the Cockleshell heroes for his heroic actions during World War II, exudes an air of determination and passion as he prepares himself for this extraordinary challenge. With his weathered face and focused gaze, it is evident that he possesses both experience and expertise in sailing. The Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race was not only a test of physical endurance but also a testament to human resilience and willpower. As sailors embarked on their solo journey across vast oceanic expanses from Plymouth, England, they faced countless obstacles and unpredictable conditions. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history when individuals pushed themselves beyond their limits to conquer nature's mightiest forces. It serves as a reminder that sportsmanship knows no boundaries and that dreams can be achieved through sheer dedication. Lewis' Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive these remarkable moments from our pasts by preserving them in stunning prints like this one. Let this image transport you back to an era where adventure reigned supreme and inspire you to chase your own dreams with unwavering determination.
