EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the bustling activity in Carthagena Harbour and Escombrera Bay during the 19th century. The Squadron, consisting of various naval vessels from different nations, is assembled here, creating a vibrant maritime scene. The focal point of the image is the majestic Spanish ship Vittoria, proudly sailing alongside other notable ships such as the US Sloop Wachusetts and Spanish Ship Almanzar. These vessels symbolize both cooperation and competition among nations on these waters. In the background, we see Italian frigates and merchant vessels adding to the international flair of this busy harbor. The presence of HMS Torch, HMS Lord Warden, HMS Helicon, HMS Triumph, and HMS Swiftsure further emphasizes Britain's significant naval power at that time. Escombrera Lighthouse stands tall amidst all this activity; its guiding light ensuring safe navigation for incoming ships. Fort St Julian serves as a reminder of Spain's military strength along its coastline. This print not only showcases the beauty of Carthagena Harbour but also highlights Europe's rich naval history and strategic importance in global trade routes. It offers a glimpse into an era when coastal cities like Carthagena played vital roles in shaping world affairs through their maritime prowess. With its intricate details and historical significance, this engraving by English School transports us back to a time when navies ruled the seas and harbors were bustling hubs of economic activity.
