EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr David Mumford, the dedicated coxswain of the Plymouth lifeboat, bids farewell after an exceptional 50 years of service. This timeless photograph captures a momentous occasion on 3 February 1920, as Mr Mumford stands proudly on the quay in his oiled jacket and distinguished moustache. As a seasoned sailor and esteemed member of the RNLI crew, Mr Mumford's commitment to saving lives at sea has been unparalleled. His expertise in navigating treacherous waters and leading his team through countless rescue missions has made him a true hero within the maritime community. In this image by Alfieri, we see sailing ships dotting the harbor behind him, their tall masts reaching towards the sky. The cranes and bustling docks serve as a backdrop to this historic moment that marks both an end to an era and a celebration of Mr Mumford's remarkable career. This monochrome print not only encapsulates Europeana photography from the early 20th century but also immortalizes a man whose dedication has left an indelible mark on Plymouth's maritime history. Let us pay tribute to Mr David Mumford for his unwavering bravery, selflessness, and half-century commitment to keeping our seas safe.
