1905 1940 Barque Built Compass Deck German Mast Penang Ropes Sailing Ship Staithes Steel Steering Sunk Capstan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic fate of the German three-masted steel barque "Penang". Built in 1905 by Rickmers Reismuhlen Rhederi & Schiffsbau AG, Bremerhaven, this majestic vessel sailed across vast oceans with its towering masts and sturdy steel structure. However, its story took a dark turn when it fell victim to the relentless U-Boat U 140 in 1940. The image showcases the ship's impressive steering wheel on deck, serving as a poignant reminder of the skilled hands that once guided her through treacherous waters. The ropes strewn across the staithes bear witness to countless journeys undertaken by this magnificent barque. A sense of nostalgia emanates from every corner of this photograph - from the weathered wooden choair to the robust capstan used for hoisting heavy loads. The compass stands proudly at attention, symbolizing both direction and lost potential. While we mourn Penang's untimely demise at sea, let us also celebrate her legacy as a testament to human ingenuity and maritime history. This print serves as a timeless tribute to an era long gone but never forgotten
