EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Chichester, ship off Greenhithe, Kent' by Terry Parker, captures the essence of the Victorian era along the River Thames Estuary. Dated 1876, the image showcases the impressive three-masted schooner, The Chichester, gracefully anchored in the tranquil waters. The ship's sails are furled, and its hull is adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the nautical industry during this period. Surrounding the vessel, colorful bunting and flags flutter in the breeze, adding a festive atmosphere to the scene. In the foreground, a small rowing boat with a single oar glides through the water, providing a sense of scale and activity. The image is further enhanced by the presence of a magazine and quiver on the boat, suggesting that the rower is preparing for a day of shooting or fishing. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1870s when the Thames Estuary was a bustling hub of maritime activity. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the rhythm of the tides and the ebb and flow of commerce and leisure were inextricably linked. This image by Terry Parker is a testament to the beauty and history of the River Thames and the ships that once sailed its waters.
