EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the tragic fate of the RMS Forth, a paddle-steamer built in Leith in 1841. The Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company's vessel went missing on its voyage between Southampton and the West Indies early in 1841, sparking fears for the lives of those aboard. However, it was later discovered that the Forth had been wrecked on the treacherous Alacranes Reef in the Gulf of Mexico.
Despite this harrowing ordeal, there was a silver lining to this maritime disaster - all passengers and crew members were miraculously saved from harm. The detailed illustration showcases the grandeur of this historic steamship before its untimely demise, serving as a poignant reminder of both triumph and tragedy on the high seas.
As we gaze upon this piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of the perilous nature of seafaring journeys during this era.
