EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the courageous act of two women who became true lifeboat heroes. Taken in London on April 14,1926, this image showcases Miss N Stephenson and Mrs B Stanton, both adorned in their oilskins and life jackets, proudly standing next to the Boulmer lifeboat. In the midst of a blizzard, these fearless women dragged the massive life-saving vessel for an astonishing distance of 1 1/4 miles. Their determination and strength shine through as they stand tall against all odds. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from the past. The boat house serves as a backdrop to their heroic feat, symbolizing hope and safety amidst treacherous waters. Anchored firmly nearby is another reminder of their noble mission - an anchor that represents stability and resilience. Their bravery is further emphasized by the presence of life belts neatly arranged on display. These essential tools would have played a vital role in saving lives during daring rescue missions at sea. Preserved by Alfieri's skilled lens, this photograph pays tribute to these unsung heroines who risked everything for others' well-being. It stands as a testament to human compassion and selflessness even in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Europeana Photography collection, we are reminded that acts of courage can transcend time while inspiring generations to come.
