EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Lewis, we are transported back to the year 1946, where a famous half-scale model of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind has met an unexpected fate. The iconic ship now rests at the bottom of Barbican Pool in Plymouth, surrounded by naval blue-jackets dressed in Elizabethan costumes resembling the original crew. The scene is filled with intrigue as we witness these brave sailors being rescued from their sinking vessel by a naval pinnace. Their expressions reveal a mix of relief and determination, showcasing their unwavering commitment to duty even during unforeseen circumstances. This snapshot not only encapsulates a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history that Plymouth holds. As we gaze upon this print from Memory Lane Prints, our minds wander through decades past when shipping and transport played pivotal roles in shaping societies. Lewis' skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the Golden Hind and the resilience exhibited by those who manned her decks centuries ago. It is through photographs like these that we can relive significant moments from our collective memory while paying homage to those who came before us.
