EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1979 in Cardiff's Roath Park. The image showcases a remarkable copper and bronze model of Captain Scott's iconic ship, The Terra Nova, being lovingly restored before its reinstatement atop the lighthouse memorial. This exquisite model pays tribute to Captain Scott's historic expedition to the South Pole from Cardiff in 1910. Jim Ash, an expert craftsman with paintbrush in hand, carefully applies a fresh coat of paint to rejuvenate this magnificent weathervane. His skilled hands bring life back into every intricate detail of the ship's design as it glistens under his touch. As he meticulously works on brightening up the model, one can't help but admire his dedication and passion for preserving history. The photograph captures not only Jim Ash at work but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of exploration and adventure embodied by Captain Scott himself. It stands as a reminder that even decades after his fateful journey, his spirit continues to inspire generations. This stunning visual relic from the past transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of our connection to those who came before us. It is through such tangible reminders that we honor their achievements and keep their stories alive for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
