Backs Boating Cambridge Flat Platform Punters Punting Recreational Stand Stern
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a leisurely day on the River Cam in Cambridge during the 1950s. The serene scene showcases punting, a quintessential British pastime and popular mode of transport on the river. The punters, dressed in casual attire, are seen standing on the flat platform at the stern of the vessel, skillfully maneuvering the pole to navigate the gentle current. The picturesque backdrop of the University of Cambridge's historic 'backs' adds to the charm of this idyllic setting. The River Cam, also known as the Granta, has long been a source of recreation for locals and visitors alike. Punting originated in the 1800s and remains a cherished tradition in Cambridge. The flat-bottomed punts, traditionally made from willow, glide effortlessly along the river, allowing punters to take in the breathtaking views of the colleges and gardens that line its banks. This photograph offers a glimpse into a simpler time, where the pleasures of the natural world and the rich history of Cambridge come together to create a truly unique experience. The flat platform at the stern of the vessel provides a stable and comfortable base for punters to enjoy their journey, as they peacefully explore the beauty of the river and its surroundings.
