EDITORS COMMENTS
Special Tug Delivers Morning News to Isle of Man: A Glimpse into the Past". Step back in time to August 18th, 1913, as we witness a remarkable scene captured by Memory Lane Prints. In this photo print, we are transported to Douglas, Isle of Man, where the Liverpool tug named Egerton is seen fulfilling an extraordinary task for none other than the Daily Mirror. As dawn breaks over the tranquil waters surrounding Douglas, visitors awaken to an unexpected luxury - a newspaper at breakfast. This was made possible due to the absence of boat arrivals until late on Mondays. Sensing an opportunity and recognizing their readers' desires for up-to-date news even during their island retreats, Daily Mirror devised a clever solution. The mighty Egerton steamer took charge of delivering a substantial supply of Daily Mirrors directly from Liverpool. With its logo proudly displayed on its side and brimming with anticipation, Egerton set sail towards Douglas carrying precious cargo that would satiate locals and tourists alike. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to innovation and dedication in meeting readers' needs. It reminds us how newspapers have always strived to be at our fingertips regardless of location or circumstance. Join us on this nostalgic journey through history as we celebrate this unique blend of transportation and journalism that brought joyous mornings filled with newsprint delights to the shores of Isle of Man.
