EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and chaotic Battle of San Juan de Ulua, where John Hawkins bravely led his naval fleet in a fierce confrontation during the second Anglo-Spanish trade war. The year was 1568, and tensions were high as Hawkins navigated through the waters off the coast of New Spain (now Veracruz, Mexico).
In this historic moment frozen in time by Terry Parker's lens, we see Hawkins' ships engaging in combat with their Spanish counterparts amidst billowing smoke and roaring cannon fire. The sea churns with energy as both sides fight for control over the valuable trade routes that crisscrossed these waters.
Hawkins stands tall at the helm of his ship, a symbol of leadership and determination in the face of adversity. His strategic prowess and unwavering courage are evident as he directs his crew through this harrowing battle.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed on the open seas, each vying for supremacy and dominance. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in pursuit of power and glory.
Terry Parker's print immortalizes John Hawkins' legacy at San Juan de Ulua, capturing a pivotal moment in history that shaped the course of nations.
