EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 1950s photograph of a sea tractor at work between Burgh Island and Bigbury-on-Sea in Devon, England. With thirty intrepid passengers aboard, the unusual vehicle navigates the shallow waters, connecting the island to the mainland. The scene transports us back to a simpler era, where holidays were spent exploring the coast and making memories. The year is 1956, and the 20th century sun casts a warm glow over the sea and sand. The passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, seem to be filled with excitement and anticipation as they embark on their journey. The sea tractor, a marvel of engineering for its time, effortlessly glides through the water, leaving a gentle wake behind. Burgh Island, with its rich history and unique charm, has long been a popular destination for visitors seeking adventure and relaxation. The island's tidal island status meant that a reliable means of transport was essential for access, and the sea tractor filled that role admirably. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside and the simple pleasures of a holiday by the water. It invites us to imagine the stories of the passengers, their laughter, and their shared experiences. A truly unusual and fascinating glimpse into the past, this image is a must-have for anyone with a love for history, the sea, or the spirit of adventure.
