EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 15th of May, 1966. Passengers eagerly gather on board the Maid of Orleans, a remarkable vessel that holds great significance as it was the last B. R. passenger ferry departing from Dover during a tumultuous time marked by strikes among seamen. As we delve into this image frozen in time, we are transported to the bustling deck filled with people from all walks of life. Their expressions reveal a mix of anticipation and curiosity for what lies ahead on their journey across the English Channel to France. The ship stands tall behind them, exuding an air of resilience amidst industrial disputes and challenges faced by the maritime industry during that era. The photograph captures not only individuals but also tells a larger story about transportation and shipping in the 1960s. It serves as a reminder of how crucial ferries were for connecting nations and facilitating travel between countries. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their lens, allowing us to reflect upon an important chapter in our past. This print is not just about passengers embarking on an ordinary voyage; it symbolizes perseverance amid adversity and celebrates human connection even during times of strife.
