EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Embarking from Brighthelmstone for Dieppe," offers a glimpse into the past of Brighton's early maritime history. Dated back to 1789, the image depicts a stormy scene on the shores of Brighton Beach, as boats prepare to set sail for the French port of Dieppe. At the time, this route was advertised as a more direct and convenient alternative to the traditional journey from London to Paris via Dover and Calais, which was lengthy and subject to frequent disruptions due to inclement weather and rough seas. The print captures the raw energy and unpredictability of the English Channel, with the turbulent waters crashing against the shore and the winds whipping up the waves. The fishermen and sailors, undeterred by the harsh conditions, can be seen loading their boats and preparing to cast off. The print also reveals the historical significance of Brighton as a key port town, with its strategic location on the southern coast of England making it an essential stop on the trans-Channel trade route. Despite the challenging conditions, the boats make their way out to sea, their sails billowing in the wind. The print serves as a reminder of the intrepid spirit of the seafaring communities of Brighton and the surrounding areas, who braved the elements to forge connections across the English Channel and beyond. Today, this rich maritime heritage continues to be celebrated in Brighton, from the historic boats that still ply the waters to the many museums and galleries that tell the story of the town's fascinating past.
