EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print titled "A Toast at the Mersey Bar" we are transported back to the lively atmosphere of Liverpool's iconic bar lightship, Planet. Taken on December 23rd, 1969, during the festive season, Captain Nicholas Burns of the lightship Planet and Santa Claus (Captain John French of the tug Trafalgar) raise their glasses in a heartwarming toast. The image captures a unique blend of maritime tradition and Christmas cheer as these two captains come together to celebrate. The backdrop showcases the picturesque Mersey Bar, with its shimmering waters and bustling activity. A life buoy hangs prominently in view, symbolizing both safety and adventure that define life at sea. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to feel a sense of warmth and camaraderie emanating from these two figures. Their laughter seems contagious as they share stories over drinks amidst twinkling lights and holiday decorations adorning the ship's deck. This photograph by Wiggy encapsulates an era when seafaring communities celebrated seasonal festivities with great fervor. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging times like those faced during the 1960s, joyous moments could still be found through simple gestures such as raising a glass together. With its timeless charm and evocative setting, this print transports us back to an era where friendship knew no boundaries - whether between fellow sailors or even Santa himself - all united by their love for Liverpool's vibrant maritime heritage.
