EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the No. 2 Pilot Boat crew of Point Lynas, Anglesey, in the 1910s or 1920s. The men, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, exude a sense of camaraderie and pride as they pose for the camera. The crew members are seen wearing their traditional peaked caps, which were an essential part of their uniform, and some are even holding toys or dolls, perhaps as playful mementos or gifts from home. The backdrop to this scene is the rugged coastline of Anglesey, with the iconic lighthouse at Point Lynas standing tall in the distance. The men's boat, a sturdy pilot vessel, is moored in the foreground, ready for action. The crew played a vital role in guiding ships safely into the harbor of Liverpool and other ports, and their work was essential for the maritime industry of the time. The photograph also reveals some intriguing details, such as the trumpet in the hands of one of the men, which may have been used to signal the incoming ships. The toys and dolls, which seem out of place in this professional setting, add a touch of humanity and warmth to the image. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the No. 2 Pilot Boat crew of Point Lynas, Anglesey, and the important role they played in the maritime history of Wales and beyond.
