EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Lusitania Inquiry on 15 June 1915. In the image, we see Mr. Boddy standing proudly with his life-saving apparatus, showcasing an important innovation during this formal investigation. The Lusitania, a Cunard ocean liner, was tragically torpedoed by a German U-boat during World War I. The wreck commissioners court conducted proceedings to investigate the incident and determine responsibility for the loss of lives. Mr. Boddy's invention takes center stage in this photograph as he demonstrates his life jacket or life vest design that could potentially save countless lives at sea. His creation reflects both fashion trends of the time and advancements in life-saving technology. As an adult male from Europeana photography archives, Mr. Boddy represents the resilience and determination of individuals who sought to improve safety measures amidst turbulent times. This monochrome image evokes a sense of solemnity and historical significance while reminding us of the human cost associated with war and maritime disasters. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in moments of tragedy, there are those who strive to make our world safer for all.
