EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment of devastation and chaos in maritime history. The image showcases the tragic scene of "The Indus" steam-ship, partially destroyed by fire, within Messers Wigrams Dry Dock in Blackwall. Created by an unknown English School artist from the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a significant event that unfolded on July 10,1852. The sheer scale of destruction is evident as flames engulf the ship's hull, billowing smoke filling the air around it. The once majestic vessel now lies crippled and charred amidst the dockyard. This powerful illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News, serving as a visual testament to this catastrophic incident. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are transported back to that fateful day when disaster struck "The Indus". It serves as a reminder of the risks faced by seafarers during this era and highlights the importance of safety measures within maritime industries. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to reflect on past tragedies while appreciating both the artistry behind its creation and its historical significance.
