EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1965. The image captures a thrilling moment on the open sea as two fearless men, Mr Gerwyn Jenkins and Mr John Wickland, grapple with a mighty blue shark. With determination etched on their faces, they haul the enormous creature over the side of their boat. The scene is watched intently by Father G. Hiscoe of Gorseinon, his eyes filled with awe and admiration for these brave fishermen. The power and majesty of the shark is palpable in this frozen frame - its sleek body glistening under the sunlight. This photograph encapsulates not only an incredible fishing expedition but also showcases the camaraderie between these adventurous souls who dared to challenge nature's mightiest predator. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our unyielding spirit when faced with formidable challenges. Preserved by Western Mail and Echo Copyright Image, this snapshot from memory lane transports us back to an era where men sought adventure on vast oceans, testing their mettle against creatures that lurked beneath its surface. It reminds us of simpler times when capturing such moments was treasured beyond measure. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it evokes a sense of nostalgia while reminding us of humanity's enduring connection with nature's wonders – even those as fearsome as sharks.
