EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Cyclists Lifeboat, launched at Hartlepool, 17 December" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles J. Staniland and now part of a private collection, this artwork originally appeared in The Graphic on 24th December 1887. The image showcases the remarkable invention that was the Cyclists Lifeboat - a testament to human ingenuity and compassion. Supported by voluntary contributions from individuals across the nation, this life-saving vessel symbolizes the power of collective effort. Intriguingly, we see the boat being tested on land rather than water. Positioned alongside a road with cyclists passing by, it is evident that transportation played an essential role in bringing this innovative creation to life. A tugboat stands nearby as if ready to assist during its eventual launch into the sea. Notably mentioned are H Sturmey and W I Iliffe – founders who spearheaded the Cyclists Life Boat Fund. Their dedication and determination have made this venture possible and remind us of how ordinary people can make extraordinary contributions for public welfare. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of both past challenges overcome and future possibilities yet to be realized. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, humanity has always found ways to come together for noble causes such as saving lives at sea.
