EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the summer of 1980, capturing a significant moment in maritime history. The image showcases the Sealink Ferry Hengist gracefully sailing towards England from Boulogne, while three other ferries remain stranded in Le Havre due to blockades imposed by French fishermen. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and resilience as the Hengist cuts through the calm waters, symbolizing hope and determination amidst adversity. The boat's sleek design and powerful presence highlight the strength of marine engineering during that era. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot for its historical significance within the shipping industry. It serves as a reminder of how external factors can disrupt even the most efficient systems, such as when French fishermen took action against their British counterparts. While it's important not to mention commercial use or specific companies associated with this photograph, we can still admire its timeless beauty and reflect on how it captures an event that impacted countless travelers during that time. This stunning piece allows us to glimpse into an era where sea travel played a vital role in connecting nations and overcoming obstacles at sea.
