EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1947, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion for the seaside town of Hastings. After years of turmoil during the war, Whit-Sunday marked a joyous return to normalcy as the first steamer trips departed from Hastings since before the conflict began. The image captures a scene filled with anticipation and excitement as holidaymakers eagerly disembark from the Paddle Steamer Glengowe at the Pier-head. The ship stands proudly against the backdrop of an endless sea, symbolizing newfound freedom and leisure after years of sacrifice. The nostalgia is palpable as we observe families and friends reuniting on this historic day. Laughter fills the air, mingling with cries of delight as passengers prepare for their long-awaited sea trip. The old familiar cry of "Round the Royal Sovereign Light Ships" echoes through our imagination, inviting us to join in on this unforgettable adventure. This photograph serves not only as a visual reminder but also as a testament to resilience and hope. It encapsulates an era when simple pleasures like these steamer trips held immense significance in people's lives. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, there is always room for celebration and cherished memories. (Photo courtesy: TopFoto. co. uk)
