EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Camroux motor boat, a remarkable vessel that was built in 1934 for the esteemed Newcastle Coal & Shipping Co Ltd. Constructed by James Pollack Sons Co from Faversham, Kent, this 400-ton coaster stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship of its time. Launched on November 10th, 1934, by none other than Mrs. Camroux herself, wife of the company's chairman, this boat holds historical significance. Its powerful W H Allen 300bhp diesel engine propels it through waterways with grace and efficiency. The image transports us back to the vibrant era between the wars when life at sea thrived amidst changing times. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia as we witness this magnificent vessel navigating through the waters of River Thames. John Topham's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this extraordinary motor boat. From its sleek design to its imposing presence on the river, one cannot help but marvel at its grandeur. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the technical prowess behind such engineering marvels but also acknowledge their role in shaping our maritime history.
