EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured in 1947, we witness a heartfelt farewell on board the SS Winchester Castle, an immigration ship chartered by the South African Government. As the vessel prepares to depart from Southampton for Cape Town, eight fortunate individuals secured last-minute passages and anxiously await their new lives ahead. Amidst the bustling quayside, Mrs Thomson clings tightly to her husband, sealing their love with a tender kiss. The emotions are palpable as they face an uncertain future - while she was fortunate enough to secure a berth on this voyage of hope and opportunity, her beloved husband could not join her. The image encapsulates both the romance and bittersweet nature of departure. Love knows no boundaries or distance; it persists even in moments of separation. This simple yet powerful gesture speaks volumes about their unbreakable bond amidst challenging circumstances. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded that human stories lie behind every photograph. It serves as a reminder that throughout history people have embarked on journeys seeking better lives for themselves and their loved ones – leaving behind familiar shores in pursuit of dreams yet unknown. This image is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and enduring love - reminding us all that regardless of time or place, "a kiss is still a kiss. "
