Created by William Lionel Wyllie and now part of a private collection, this print captures a moment filled with both tragedy and heroism. The scene unfolds at the mouth of the Tyne River, where an unfortunate shipwreck has occurred.

The darkened sky mirrors the somber mood while emphasizing the sheer magnitude of this disaster. Yet amidst it all, there is an undeniable sense that humanity will prevail.
