EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in maritime history - the first attempt to float the renowned cross Channel steamer, SS Newhaven, which ran aground on the sandy shores of Dieppe. Taken on August 14th, 1924, this monochrome image showcases the valiant efforts made by four tugs to dislodge the stranded vessel from its predicament. The powerful tugboats can be seen surrounding SS Newhaven as they strain against her weight, their determination evident despite their inability to move her. The sheer scale of the ship is emphasized against the vast expanse of sand that holds it captive. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human ingenuity and nature's unpredictable forces. It transports us back to an era between wars when technological advancements were rapidly changing society's landscape. Preserved by Central News, this Europeana photography offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in maritime engineering and reminds us of our vulnerability amidst even our greatest achievements. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of how history shapes our present and influences our future
