Docks Ferry Leaving Liverpool Paddle Steamer Yarmouth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken from the early 1900s, depicts the iconic London boat as it leaves the picturesque coastal town of Great Yarmouth. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and romance. The London boat, a paddle steamer, was a familiar sight in the British coastal scene during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Its distinctive red funnel and white hull were synonymous with sea travel between the Liverpool docks and various ports along the east coast, including Great Yarmouth. In this photograph, the London boat is shown casting off from the quay, its paddle wheels churning the water as it begins its journey. The town's charming Victorian architecture serves as a beautiful backdrop, with colorful houses and the iconic tower of St. Nicholas Church visible in the distance. The London boat was a popular mode of transportation for both leisure travelers and those making essential journeys. Its departure from Great Yarmouth marked the beginning of a new adventure for those aboard, as they set sail towards their destinations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a bygone era. The London boat, with its vintage lantern slide quality, serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history that continues to shape the coastal towns of England.
