EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Thomas Lea, we are transported back to the tumultuous days of World War Two. The image depicts a brave North Sea trawlerman named Liston, who stands resolute on the deck of the fishing boat Star of the Isles. With his trusty Lewis gun in hand, Liston valiantly defends his vessel against an imminent attack by a German Heinkel 111. The intensity captured in this moment is palpable as Liston's fellow fisherman rushes to his aid, feeding him fresh drums of cartridges. Their teamwork and determination exemplify the unwavering spirit that characterized those who braved the treacherous waters during wartime. Amidst the chaos and danger at sea, this photograph serves as a testament to both individual heroism and collective resilience. It offers us a glimpse into the harrowing reality faced by these fishermen turned defenders, highlighting their crucial role in safeguarding their livelihoods and protecting their nation from enemy threats. Lea's masterful composition not only immortalizes an extraordinary act of bravery but also pays homage to all those unsung heroes who risked their lives on these trawlers during World War Two. This poignant image reminds us of their sacrifices and serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst adversity, courage can prevail.
