Here's your Sunday jigsaw: Hanover Boat Association outing, 1889
I’m shocked by the seeming height of the “sand bank”. Is that an optical illusion or has it been worn away by time and grading?
Hi John...
Theoretically, if you dug down from the Hanover Green and avoided the steam tunnels...it would be sand and silt and clay(?) down to the river level.
Brave women that would climb into a small boat like that dressed in those overflowing dresses.
I would never get into one of those boats even today. I am a good swimmer, I just don't like
small boats that rock from side to side.
I'm with you. And that was the era of bustles!
