Low Tide Alfieri Life Boat Logs Onlookers Water Waves
Launching the Lifeboat at Worthing West Sussex by Motor Tractor. 1920s 1930s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling coastal town of Worthing, West Sussex, during the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s. The image captures a remarkable moment as a lifeboat is being launched into the turbulent waters by a powerful motor tractor. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to this bygone era. Schoolboys dressed in their smart uniforms stand alongside onlookers, eagerly watching this daring rescue operation unfold. The presence of logs scattered across the sandy beach hints at previous maritime activities or perhaps remnants from recent storms. The low tide reveals an expanse of glistening sand stretching out towards the horizon, while gentle waves lap against its edge. This serene yet dramatic backdrop adds depth and contrast to the photograph's composition. The use of an alfieri (a caterpillar track tank) showcases technological advancements prevalent during this time, highlighting how innovation was harnessed for lifesaving purposes. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both bravery and community spirit that prevailed along Britain's coastlines during these tumultuous years between two world wars
