EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of passengers as they board the Steamship Queen at Southampton on 9 August 1933. The Steamship Queen was a popular paddle steamer that offered passengers the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and embark on a leisurely journey to the seaside. In this image, we see a diverse group of adults and children, all dressed in their holiday best, making their way onto the boat. Some passengers are seen carrying lifebelts, a necessary precaution for any sea voyage, while others are seen chatting and laughing with each other. The men in the group are seen helping the women and children aboard, adding a sense of camaraderie and community to the scene. The water shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the steamship's majestic silhouette, as it prepares to set sail. The passengers on board the Steamship Queen were not just transported to their holiday destinations, but also to a time of relaxation and social connection, making this photograph a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
