EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Cardiff Lightship in all its glory. Taken in 2009 by renowned photographer Ethel Davies, this image showcases the historic vessel known as Goleulong in Welsh or Lightship 2000/Helwick. Once a prominent landmark of Cardiff Bay, Wales, this blue-hued ship served as a Christian Centre before finding its new home as a floating museum in Newnham on Severn, Gloucester, England. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and bathed in warm sunlight, the lightship stands tall and proud. Its vertical structure commands attention and transports viewers to an era when it played an integral role in maritime transport. The photograph beautifully juxtaposes the old with the new - showcasing both then and now images of this remarkable piece of history. Ethel Davies expertly captures every detail of this architectural marvel - from its distinctive shape to its vibrant color that contrasts against the serene sky. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy of Cardiff's beloved landmark. With no mention of commercial use intended for this photo print, it allows us to appreciate Ethel Davies' artistic vision while celebrating the rich heritage embodied by this floating museum.
