EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Patent Reversible Lifeboat, a groundbreaking maritime innovation designed by Anderson and Burkinshaw of Bridlington Quay in 1875. The lifeboat, a significant addition to the safety equipment on ships during the late 19th century, was unique due to its ability to be used either way up. The design derived its buoyancy from two large pieces of cork and 40 air-tight tanks, which allowed the boat to remain afloat even if capsized. The importance of this invention cannot be overstated, as traditional lifeboats required the occupants to right the boat before they could use it effectively. The Patent Reversible Lifeboat eliminated this challenge, providing a crucial advantage in emergency situations. The design was granted patent number 40, Dec, in 1875, and its impact on maritime safety was significant. The Anderson and Burkinshaw partnership, based in Bridlington Quay, was responsible for the creation of this historical innovation. The engraving showcases the intricate details of the lifeboat, including its robust construction and ingenious design. The use of air-tight tanks and cork for buoyancy was a novel approach, and the reversible feature made it a vital addition to the safety equipment on ships. This Patent Reversible Lifeboat was an essential improvement in maritime safety technology, and its impact was felt for decades. The partnership between Anderson and Burkinshaw led to the development of a life-saving device that could potentially reverse the outcome of a shipwreck. This engraving is a testament to their ingenuity and the importance of continuous innovation in ensuring safety at sea.
