Passengers on the Southampton, or were they sitting around a lifeboat on another vessel registered in Southampton? We are uncertain, but think that this picture is far too late to have been taken on the paddle steamer Southampton shown below

St Helier, one of Jersey's most popular mailboats of the 20th century, manoeuvring in her registered port of Weymouth. She operated on the Weymouth-Channel Islands route from 1925 until 1950, interrupted, of course, by the war years. She was withdrawn from service on Channel Island routes in September 1939 and operated on government business between the coasts of England and France, including the Calais and Dunkirk evacuations the following year, evacuating 10,200 troops and 1,500 refugees, and her guns shot down a German aircraft that attempted to bomb her. Her Captain, Reginald Richard Pitman, was awarded an MBE and DSC for his service rescuing soldiers from Dunkirk. Along with three of his brothers and three cousins, Reginald served in the Mercantile Marine in the Great War, before his further distinguished service in WW2.
