EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of The Dartmouth Ferry, operating between the picturesque towns of Dartmouth and Kingswear in Devon, England, during the 1920s. The image showcases the quaint and rustic charm of this cable-drawn ferry, which was a vital means of transportation for both residents and visitors to the area. The scene is set against the backdrop of the beautiful River Dart, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the verdant hills and the historic buildings of Dartmouth and Kingswear. A horse-drawn cart, laden with goods, is making its way onto the ferry, adding to the sense of tranquility and simplicity of the era. The Dartmouth Ferry, also known as the Dartmouth-Kingswear Floating Bridge, was a vehicular cable ferry that played an essential role in connecting the two towns. The ferry was a marvel of engineering for its time, using a system of cables and pulleys to transport vehicles and passengers across the river. This photograph captures a moment in history, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of the people who lived and worked in this beautiful corner of Devon. The horse-drawn cart, the cable ferry, and the River Dart all come together to create a scene that is both timeless and enchanting.
