Captain Collins of Brighton, with his family
Captain Fred Collins of Brighton, who ran three pleasure boats called the Skylark and was a familiar figure on Brighton Beach for sixty years. His cry of Any More for the Skylark became so famous that it became a national saying for pleasure boats. It is believed that the novelist Charles Dickens knew Collins, and went for a trip on the Skylark in 1867, commenting later on the captains witty chatter to the trippers. Collins is seen here on the right, with his son, grandson and great grandson. The fleet continued to sail until just after the Second World War under his son, also named Fred Collins, although two of the three boats were lost at Dunkirk in 1940

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary figure of Captain Fred Collins of Brighton, flanked by his son, grandson, and great-grandson, as they stand proudly before one of his famous pleasure boats, the Skylark. Captain Collins was a familiar sight on the Brighton beachfront for an astonishing sixty years, running three boats that bore the catchy cry of 'Any More for the Skylark?'. This phrase became so ingrained in the national lexicon that it is believed Charles Dickens himself was acquainted with the captain, having taken a trip on the Skylark in 1867 and commenting on the captain's witty chatter to the trippers. Dressed in his captain's hat and whiskers, Collins embodied the Edwardian era's class and charm. The Collins family's fleet continued to sail until just after the Second World War, with Captain Collins' son, also named Fred Collins, taking the helm. Tragically, two of the three boats were lost at Dunkirk in 1940. This historic photograph transports us back to a bygone era of leisurely seaside trips and the warm camaraderie of three generations of seafaring Collins men.
