EDITORS COMMENTS
Life aboard the 3 masted Penang was no easy feat, especially during the grueling 111 days spent navigating the vast ocean. However, even in the midst of such a challenging journey, moments of respite and camaraderie were cherished by the seamen. This print captures one such moment on the main deck of the barque Penang as it embarked on its voyage from Falmouth to Dublin, laden with precious cargo of grain from Australia. In June 1935, under clear skies and gentle waves, a group of sailors gathered together to lift their spirits with some light music. With a gramophone providing accompaniment in this modern twist on traditional sea chanties, these brave men found solace and encouragement through song. The singer proudly wears his sou'wester hat - a symbol of resilience after enduring fierce gales that had claimed two caps along their treacherous journey. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints not only encapsulates an era but also reflects the indomitable spirit and unity among sailors who braved perilous seas for trade and industry. As they harmonize amidst towering masts and billowing sails, their voices echo across time as a testament to human perseverance against nature's might. Let this image transport you back to an age when adventure beckoned beyond every horizon; where music became an anchor for weary souls seeking solace amidst endless waves.
