Barry Course Ilfracombe Passengers Pleasure Setting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and enjoyment as passengers on a pleasure boat set course from Ilfracombe, Devon, England, in the year 1912. The quaint harbor town, nestled along the rugged North Devon coastline, has long been a popular destination for visitors seeking relaxation and recreation by the sea. In this image, the pleasure boat, with its distinctive red funnel and white hull, cuts through the tranquil waters, leaving a gentle wake behind. The passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be in high spirits, some waving at the camera or chatting with one another, while others lean over the railings to take in the breathtaking views of the coastline and the vast expanse of the Bristol Channel. The boat's destination is listed as Barry, a town located on the southern coast of Wales, just across the channel from Ilfracombe. The journey would have taken several hours, offering passengers a chance to enjoy the scenic beauty of the coastline and the fresh sea air. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into a bygone era when travel by sea was a leisurely and romantic experience. The passengers on this pleasure boat, with their laughter and sense of excitement, remind us of the simple pleasures of life and the enduring appeal of the sea.
