EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s when Hugh Maclean and his Aqua Cycling Raft took center stage. The image captures a moment of both triumph and disbelief as Hugh recounts the events that unfolded on that fateful day. As the caption suggests, Hugh had high hopes for his invention, believing it would revolutionize cycling on water. However, fate had other plans. After an unfortunate incident in which his friend Bill McGrath found himself submerged in the Thames River during a demonstration of the Aqua Cycle Raft, doubt began to creep into Hugh's mind. The photograph shows Bill and Hugh standing beside their unique contraption under Hammersmith Bridge. Despite its unconventional appearance, one cannot help but admire their determination to push boundaries and explore new possibilities in transportation. This image serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation. It also highlights the unpredictable nature of experimentation - sometimes things don't go according to plan no matter how confident we may be in our ideas. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into an era where inventors like Hugh Maclean dared to dream big and challenge conventional norms. It is a testament to their resilience and unwavering spirit even when faced with setbacks along the way.
