EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Late Collision off the Lizard, HMS Terrible towing the Calcutta into Plymouth" takes us back to a dramatic maritime event in the 19th century. The image showcases two majestic ships locked in a moment of chaos and danger. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of a collision at sea. The mighty HMS Terrible can be seen valiantly towing the damaged Calcutta towards safety in Plymouth. The coastal backdrop of Devon's rugged shoreline adds an extra layer of intensity to this already gripping tableau. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes apparent that there is more at stake than just naval vessels. The presence of troops and armed forces hints at potential military consequences resulting from this incident. Perhaps these soldiers were aboard one or both ships, ready for combat or on their way to distant lands. Moreover, we catch a glimpse of India's influence within this historical narrative through references to the City of Calcutta and its Indian inhabitants. This collision not only impacted British naval power but also had implications for relations with Asia. Through its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving transports us back in time to experience firsthand the tension and drama surrounding maritime disasters during an era when naval supremacy was paramount. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, bravery and resilience prevail on both land and sea.
