EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Massey Shaw fireboat, a proud vessel of the London Fire Brigade (LFB), is seen tied up at her Blackfriars moorings on the River Thames. The year is 1936, and the era is the 1930s, a time when the Thames was a bustling waterway teeming with boats and vessels of all kinds. The Massey Shaw fireboat, named after the then Commissioner of the LFB, Sir Massey Shaw, is a testament to the advanced firefighting capabilities of the brigade during that era. The Merryweather pumps onboard the boat are the source of her formidable firepower, and in this image, they are put on display during a practice drill. The crew members, dressed in their uniforms and wearing protective gear, are seen operating the hoses and pumps with precision and efficiency. The hoses are coiled neatly on the deck, ready for action. The jet of water being sprayed into the air is a clear indication of the boat's readiness to respond to any fire emergency on the river. The Massey Shaw fireboat was a vital appliance in the LFB's arsenal, and regular drills and practice sessions were essential to ensure that the crew was well-prepared to face any firefighting challenge on the Thames. This photograph captures a moment in time when the boat and her crew were not only demonstrating their firefighting prowess but also showcasing their dedication and commitment to keeping the river and its inhabitants safe. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the world of firefighting on the Thames during the 1930s. The Massey Shaw fireboat, with her powerful Merryweather pumps and dedicated crew, continues to be an iconic symbol of the London Fire Brigade's rich history and commitment to protecting the city.
