EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the launch of a new life-boat at Blackpool, Lancashire, by the Mayor of Liverpool. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as crowds gather to witness this ceremonial event. The mayor himself can be seen proudly overseeing the proceedings, accompanied by other politicians and local dignitaries. The image beautifully portrays the grandeur of the occasion, with flags flying high and onlookers eagerly awaiting the boat's first voyage. The coxswain of the life-boat stands tall, ready to steer it into action. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and community spirit. Published in The Illustrated London News in 1885, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when life-boats played a crucial role in saving lives along treacherous coastlines. It reminds us of the bravery and dedication displayed by those who risked their own safety to rescue others at sea. This historic artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect on our maritime heritage while also appreciating how far we have come in terms of lifesaving technology. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, communities can come together for noble causes - just like they did on that memorable day in Blackpool over a century ago.
