Crew on Board the Marion Josiah: A Glimpse into the Past of a Scottish Sailing Vessel This evocative photograph captures a moment in time aboard the Marion Josiah, a four-mast barque built in Glasgow in the early 20th century. The ship, later renamed the Tijuca, was a magnificent example of Scottish shipbuilding at its finest. With its tall, elegant masts and sails billowing in the wind, the Marion Josiah was a sight to behold on the open sea. In this image, we see a group of men in uniform, gathered on the deck of the vessel. Their serious expressions and the lifebelts slung around their waists hint at the dangerous nature of their work. The crew members, dressed in their sailor's attire, are busy at their tasks, ensuring the ship's smooth operation. The intricate rigging of the sails can be seen in the background, a testament to the intricacy and skill required to sail such a large vessel. The Marion Josiah had an illustrious career, transporting goods across the seas before meeting its unfortunate end in 1917. The ship was sunk by a German torpedo during World War I, marking the end of an era for this magnificent vessel. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the crew members who sailed on board the Marion Josiah, their daily routines, and the camaraderie that must have existed among them as they braved the elements and the dangers of the sea.
