Ferry Free Photograph Woolwich
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1909, showcases the iconic Woolwich Free Ferry in full glory. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of simple yet effective transportation solutions. The ferry, named 'Woolwich Free Ferry' and not to be confused with the modern-day company of the same name, is seen making its way across the Thames River, connecting the North and South shores of London. The photograph, which is rights managed, captures the essence of the early 20th century with its black and white aesthetic. The ferry, with its tall smokestacks billowing out plumes of steam, cuts through the tranquil waters of the Thames, leaving a trail of mist in its wake. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, with the hustle and bustle of activity on both shores, as people and goods are transported from one side to the other. The photograph is a testament to the importance of the Woolwich Free Ferry in the history of London's transportation network. It served as a vital link between the two shores, enabling the movement of people and goods, and played a significant role in the growth and development of the city. The ferry's significance can be seen in the large crowds gathered at the docks, eagerly awaiting its arrival. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past and a tribute to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of London during that era. It is a must-have for anyone interested in London's history, transportation, or photography. The image is not only a historical document but also a work of art that captures the spirit of a bygone era.
