EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the festive season of 1967. The image captures a heartwarming moment as the Mayor of Barry, Alderman Ewart Morgan, and his wife, Miss Eileen Morgan, embark on a special Christmas visit to the Breaksea lightship in the Bristol Channel. Accompanied by members of the Barry Branch of the British Sailors Society, their mission is to deliver parcels filled with holiday cheer to the crew who will be spending Christmas on board. The scene unfolds with anticipation as a lifeboat glides down the slipway into the water. Onboard are not only distinguished figures like Alderman Morgan and his Mayoress but also dedicated members of society who have come together for this charitable cause. Their faces reflect both excitement and determination as they set sail towards their destination. This photograph encapsulates a sense of community spirit during a time when giving was at its core. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances such as those faced by sailors spending Christmas away from home, acts of kindness can bring joy and comfort. Preserved through time by Knight's lens, this snapshot immortalizes an act of selflessness that continues to inspire generations today.
