EDITORS COMMENTS
A Seaside Reunion: Vehicles Arriving on the Southern Railway Ferry at Fishbourne, 1932 This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment as cars and motorcycles disembark from the Southern Railway ferry at Fishbourne, Isle of Wight, in 1932. The image, taken by Charles E Brown during his time in the Royal Air Force, offers a fascinating glimpse into interwar travel and transportation. The Southern Railway ferry, a vital link between the mainland and the Isle of Wight, plays a central role in this scene. The ferry's towering funnel and elegant lines evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication, making it a fitting backdrop for the vehicles that have made the crossing from Portsmouth. The cars and motorcycles, a diverse array of makes and models, are arranged neatly on the ferry's deck, their owners eager to reclaim them after a brief sojourn on the island. The vehicles, some adorned with personalized number plates, reflect the growing popularity of automobile ownership during this period. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity surrounding the ferry's arrival. Passengers, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, mill about on the dockside, while porters and crew members attend to the disembarking vehicles. The scene is one of excitement and anticipation, as travelers prepare to continue their journeys on the mainland. This photograph offers a captivating snapshot of interwar travel and transportation, a time when the ferry played a crucial role in connecting people and places, and the freedom of the open road was a cherished luxury.
