EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Puffer boat, the Adherence, built by James Cooper of Widnes in 1914. The single-masted, single-screw vessel is shown in the 1920s, during the height of the puffer boom in the Mersey estuary. Puffers, also known as sailing barges, were popular for their ability to navigate the shallow waters and narrow canals of the region. The Adherence, with its distinctive tall mast and sail, is moored at a quayside, likely waiting to load or unload cargo. The image exudes a sense of industry and hard work, reflecting the vital role that these boats played in the transportation of goods during the early 20th century. The 1920s, often referred to as the Roaring Twenties, were a period of economic prosperity and cultural change, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the working world of the time. James Cooper was a renowned shipbuilder in Widnes, a town in Cheshire, England, known for its boatbuilding industry. The Adherence was one of many boats he constructed during his career, and this photograph serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and importance of these vessels in the region's maritime history. The Puffer boat, the Adherence, remains a symbol of the rich industrial heritage of the Mersey estuary and the vital role that small, versatile boats played in the transportation of goods during the early 20th century.
