1931 Aboard Channel Crane Ferry Humber Models Named Pallet Pullman Raised
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, a Humber Pullman car, named and resplendent in its elegant art deco design, is being carefully loaded onto a Channel ferry. The car, a Humber Super Eight Pullman Limousine to be precise, is a fine example of the automotive craftsmanship that defined the era of motoring in Britain. The scene unfolds at the dockside, where the Humber Pullman, with its long bonnet and distinctive chrome grille, sits atop a pallet, ready to be hoisted aboard the ferry by a powerful crane. The crew members, dressed in their workwear, stand by, ensuring every detail is attended to as they prepare for the vehicle's journey across the English Channel. The Humber Pullman, a luxurious and spacious car, was a popular choice for the well-heeled traveller seeking a comfortable and stylish means of transportation. Its inclusion in this photograph is a testament to the importance of the automobile in the early 20th century, as well as the growing popularity of travel by sea. As the crane begins to lift the car, the onlookers, both on the dock and on the ferry, watch with anticipation. The Humber Pullman, once aboard, will join other vehicles and passengers as they set sail for their destinations across the English Channel. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, as the Humber Pullman embarks on its journey, symbolizing the spirit of adventure and the allure of the open road.
