In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history as the Duke of Atholl presides over a lifeboat ceremony at Peterhead. The image captures the essence of the early twentieth century, transporting us back to 29th August 1922. Standing proudly on an old lifeboat, the Duke of Atholl commands attention as he addresses the gathered crowd. With eloquence and authority, he presents a new vessel that will undoubtedly serve as a beacon of hope and safety for those venturing into treacherous waters. To his right stands Lord Aberdeen, exuding an air of nobility and sophistication. Together, these aristocrats symbolize strength and leadership within their community. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing its timeless significance. It reminds us that even in an era defined by rapid change and progress, certain traditions endure. This photograph not only commemorates a specific event but also serves as a testament to the dedication and bravery exhibited by members of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Their unwavering commitment to saving lives is immortalized through this powerful image. As we gaze upon this piece from Central News' collection on Europeana Photography, we are reminded of our shared human experience across time.
