EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and thrill of motorboat racing on the iconic River Thames at Chiswick in 1931. Organized by the esteemed Sussex Motor Yacht Club, the event drew a large crowd of spectators eager to witness the power and skill of the motorboats in action. The motorboats, with their sleek designs and powerful engines, cut through the water with ease, leaving a trail of spray in their wake. The competitors, dressed in their racing attire, focused intently on the race, their determination evident as they navigated the course. The River Thames, with its serene and picturesque backdrop, provided the perfect setting for this high-octane competition. The 1930s, a decade known for its innovation and excitement, was the golden age of motorboat racing, and this photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the sport. The roar of the engines, the spray of the water, and the sense of camaraderie among the competitors made for an unforgettable day on the Thames.
