EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the P&O liner SS Delhi at sea in 1911, a majestic vessel that met a tragic fate later that same year. Built in 1905, the Delhi was wrecked in a fierce gale off Cape Spartel, Tangiers, resulting in the loss of three lives. Despite this devastating event, there were miraculous tales of survival as notable figures such as the Princess Royal, The Duke of Fife and Princesses Alexandra and Maud were among those rescued from the wreckage.
The image serves as a poignant reminder of both the grandeur and fragility of these historic ocean liners that once ruled the seas. It is a snapshot frozen in time, capturing an era when travel by ship was not only luxurious but also perilous.
As we gaze upon this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back to a time when maritime disasters were all too common and yet bravery and heroism shone through amidst tragedy. The SS Delhi may have been lost to the depths of the sea, but its story lives on through photographs like this one – preserving its place in history for generations to come.
