This powerful print captures the Fire Float of Hull during World War Two, a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of relentless bombings. As one gazes at this image, it is impossible to ignore the immense bravery and sacrifice that the city's residents endured during those dark times. From 19 June 1940 to 1945, Hull spent over 1,000 hours under alert as raids ravaged its streets. Tragically, almost 1,200 lives were lost due to these bombings. However, amidst this chaos and destruction, the fire float stood tall as a vital tool in combating fires caused by enemy attacks. The fire float's significance cannot be overstated; it played an instrumental role in saving countless lives and preserving what remained of Hull's infrastructure.
