EDITORS COMMENTS
Gold at Sea: A Costly Mishap". This photo print, titled "Gold at sea" captures a dramatic incident that unfolded in Cherbourg harbor during the early 1930s. The image showcases the chaotic aftermath of a chain breaking while unloading barrels filled with precious golden ingots from a ship. Tragically, as the chain gave way, an estimated ten million dollars' worth of gold plummeted into the depths of the sea. The scene is one of sheer chaos and despair as dockers scramble to salvage any remnants of the lost treasure. The splashing water adds to the sense of urgency and drama surrounding this unfortunate event. In this moment frozen in time, we witness sailors desperately trying to retrieve what was dropped overboard, their efforts futile against nature's vast expanse. Beltrame Achille's skillful illustration brings forth both the value and vulnerability associated with such valuable cargo. Each bar represents not only wealth but also countless hours spent mining and refining this precious metal. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of France's historical role in repatriating gold stored in American banks. This particular incident serves as a cautionary tale about how even well-laid plans can be disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. Through Beltrame Achille's masterful brushstrokes, we are transported back to that fateful day when fortune slipped through our fingers like grains of sand on a windy beach – forever lost beneath the waves.
