EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the first delivery of food from the United States to Great Britain under the Lend Lease program during World War II. The image showcases a bustling port scene, with an American cargo ship docked mid-frame, ready to unload its precious cargo. A crowd has gathered on the exterior, eagerly awaiting this lifeline of sustenance. In the foreground stands a group of distinguished individuals who played key roles in this historic event. From right to left, we see Kathleen Harriman and her husband Averill Harriman, representing the United States as lend lease representatives. Standing beside them is Robert H. Hinkley, U. S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce. On their left is Lord Woolton, Minister of Food for Great Britain. The photo exudes a sense of anticipation and hope as these leaders come together to ensure that essential supplies reach those affected by war across borders. It serves as a poignant reminder of international cooperation amidst adversity. Captured in 1941 by Granger Art on Demand for The Granger Collection, this image not only documents an important historical moment but also pays tribute to all those involved in making such vital deliveries possible during one of humanity's darkest times – World War II.
