EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history, as the remains of Mr Hawker and Commander Grieves' Sopwith Rolls Royce Biplane are brought into Falmouth docks, Cornwall on May 28th, 1919. The wreckage is a solemn reminder of their daring attempt at the first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the UK. The biplane met its tragic fate during the perilous journey but miraculously both men survived. Their incredible rescue and bravery earned them well-deserved decorations from King George V. This photograph serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit and unwavering determination. Transported on a naval pinnace from the American vessel SS Lake Charlottesville, this historic aircraft was discovered an astonishing 1200 miles east of Newfoundland, precisely located at latitude 49.90N and longitude 39.07W. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured this poignant moment in time, preserving it for future generations to witness this remarkable event that unfolded in Cornish waters over a century ago. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the courage exhibited by these pioneers of aviation who pushed boundaries and risked everything for human progress. It stands as a tribute not only to their extraordinary endeavor but also to all those who have dared to dream big throughout history.
