EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Perilous Situation of the Boat of the 'Maeander, ' at the Bar, Norfolk Island" takes us back to a dramatic moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a heart-stopping scene that unfolded in the Pacific Ocean. In this image, we witness a small boat named "Maeander" battling against treacherous waves and turbulent waters near Norfolk Island. The boat is seen struggling to navigate through a dangerous bar, with towering waves crashing all around it. The tension is palpable as onlookers watch from afar, fearing for the safety of those aboard. This artwork was originally featured as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on December 13th, 1856. It serves as a powerful reminder of the perils faced by seafarers during their journeys across vast oceans and distant lands. The engraving beautifully captures both the power and vulnerability of human beings when confronted with nature's might. It also highlights the importance of transport and transportation systems like tugboats that assist vessels in navigating such perilous situations. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one intense moment amidst countless adventures experienced by sailors exploring uncharted territories across the Pacific Islands.
