EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Coracle Racing" we are transported back to the 1950s, where a group of coracle men eagerly await their turn to participate in a race at Cardigan Bay Regatta. These skilled individuals carry on an age-old craft that has been passed down through generations, as evidenced by the wicker vessels slung effortlessly over their shoulders. Although they belong to a diminishing race, these coracle men continue to enchant visitors who stroll along the picturesque banks of the River Towy and Teifi. The sight of these unique boats, propelled by oars skillfully maneuvered by their masters, is nothing short of mesmerizing. The photograph captures not only the anticipation and excitement in the air but also showcases spectators lining up along the riverbank. Their eager faces reflect both admiration for these traditional watercraft and enthusiasm for witnessing an exhilarating display of sport. Taken on August 26th, 1950, this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints allows us to step into a moment frozen in time—a testament to both cultural heritage and sporting prowess. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still room for appreciation and celebration of ancient traditions that continue to captivate our imagination.
