EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Reg Lewis, we are transported back to the 1940s, where two of the three remarkable women sailors proudly stand atop the Australian barque Viking's main mast. As they fearlessly climb the rigging, their infectious smiles reveal a sense of joy and accomplishment that can only be found at sea. These courageous women played an integral role in crewing the majestic sailing ship on its arduous four and a half month journey from Australia to Falmouth Cornwall. Their dedication and skill defy gender norms of that era, breaking barriers as they navigate through rough waters with unwavering determination. The image showcases not only their physical strength but also their undeniable spirit of adventure. With hats firmly secured against the wind, these trailblazing sailors embody resilience and grace amidst challenging conditions. The towering mast serves as a testament to their expertise in handling intricate rigging systems while maintaining composure even in high altitudes. Reg Lewis masterfully captures this historic moment, immortalizing these extraordinary women who defied societal expectations to pursue their passion for sailing. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an era when dreams knew no boundaries and celebrates the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge convention.
