EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Unusual Home 1948" we are transported back to a time when young Brian Martin found solace in the most unexpected of places. At just thirteen years old, he resided on the after end of the hulk of the old iron battleship Valiant – an extraordinary dwelling that defied convention. The photograph captures Brian's isolated abode, nestled in a tiny cove opposite Davonport dockyard. The ship, once a mighty vessel sailing through treacherous waters, now serves as an oiling wharf for tankers from various nations seeking refuge in Plymouth to refuel. It stands as a testament to both resilience and adaptability. Surrounded by vast expanses of sea, Brian's home exudes an aura of seclusion and tranquility. The image evokes curiosity about his daily life amidst such unconventional surroundings – how did he navigate his way through this maritime maze? What adventures awaited him beyond those rusty metal walls? This snapshot from the 1940s transports us back to an era where people sought refuge wherever they could find it. It reminds us that even in times of great change and uncertainty, individuals like Brian were able to carve out their own unique spaces within unconventional environments. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that sometimes our homes can be found not only within four walls but also within our hearts' desires – even if it means living on the remnants of a battleship floating serenely
