EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting scene of Morecambe Bay and Pier, forever marked by a tragic accident that occurred on 9 September. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph showcases the serene coastal beauty of Morecambe Bay, located in Lancashire. The pier stretches out into the sea, its weathered planks echoing stories from years gone by. However, it is not just the picturesque landscape that draws attention; it is also a reminder of a fateful day when disaster struck. On that ill-fated day in 1895, boats were navigating these waters when tragedy unfolded. A tugboat collided with another vessel near the pier, resulting in an accident that would be etched into history. This photograph was later featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on 14 September 1895. As we gaze upon this poignant image today, we are transported back to a time where maritime transport played a vital role along coastlines like Morecambe Bay. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and resilience but also as a somber reminder of the risks involved in such endeavors. Through photography's lens, we can reflect on past events and pay tribute to those affected by them. This particular print captures not only historical significance but also evokes emotions tied to loss and remembrance.
