EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by John Topham in 1938, we are transported back to a time between the wars when two old salts paid a visit to the magnificent Cutty Sark in Greenhithe, Kent. The image captures Captain R J Woodget and Captain A. S. Woodget waving from high up on the rigging of the historic vessel. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia as we witness these retired sailors relishing their connection with the past. The intricate ropes and mast surrounding them serve as a reminder of their seafaring days in the Royal Navy. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless adventures at sea, while their brotherly bond is evident through their shared experience. As they wave enthusiastically from above, one can't help but imagine the memories flooding back for these old sailors. The Cutty Sark stands tall behind them, its grandeur contrasting against their humble presence. This iconic clipper ship has witnessed many voyages and now serves as a symbol of maritime history. John Topham's photograph beautifully encapsulates not only the personalities of these two men but also pays homage to an era long gone. It reminds us that even after retirement, some individuals never truly leave behind their love for the sea and all its wonders.
