Postcard of the Month: April 2021
/An atmospheric postcard by Frank Spry, from between 1908 and 1914, showing a nicely detailed close-up of the paddle tug Jumna on the left at its mooring, with an array of visiting ships in the background. Moored alongside Jumna is the brig Vera of Brantevik, a small coastal town in Sweden.
Among the posing crew members from Jumna, the one seen on board may be the master, John Belchamber while the gentleman on the jetty is probably the harbour pilot William Henry Collins.
Further information on Jumna, Vera and many other craft can be found it the Vessels section of this website.
If you have any stories about this, or any other, card featured on The Arun Valley Postcard Trail, we would be delighted to hear from you.
