EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming souvenir card dates back to approximately 1910 and features an image of the Queen Victoria Seamens Rest in Poplar, London. The Seamens Rest was established in 1843 and provided a refuge for weary sailors, offering them a warm meal, a comfortable bed, and a place to write letters home. The card depicts the Seamens Rest's distinctive red-brick building, with its ornate lighthouse-like tower, nestled among the trees and surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Thames. In the foreground, two sailors are shown, their hands clasped around a rope as they exchange stories or share a moment of camaraderie. The card bears the inscription "Queen Victoria Seamens Rest, Poplar, London," and the date "Nov 19, 1910." The image of the Seamens Rest and the sailors evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when the sea was the primary means of transportation and the Seamens Rest offered a vital respite for sailors on their long journeys. This souvenir card serves as a reminder of the important role the Seamens Rest played in the lives of sailors and the maritime community of London during the early 20th century.
