EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on the River Thames in 1804, showcasing the essential role of watermen in transporting passengers across the bustling waterway. The scene depicts a Thames boatman skillfully landing his passengers on the south bank near Waterloo, with an estimated 20,000 watermen serving the needs of those looking to cross the river at that time.
In this era before powered ferries and modern transportation methods, these dedicated watermen were relied upon for safe and efficient passage across the Thames. Their expertise and knowledge of the river made them indispensable to Londoners seeking to navigate its waters.
The image provides a glimpse into a bygone era when transport was largely dependent on human-powered vessels like rowboats and ferries. It is a reminder of how integral these hardworking individuals were to daily life in London during this period.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this historical moment, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. This print serves as a testament to the rich history of transportation along the River Thames and honors the legacy of those who served as its trusted watermen.
