1854 27th Cape Wednesday Wreck


EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the aftermath of the tragic wreck of the U.S.M. steam ship Arctic off the coast of Cape Race, Newfoundland, on September 27, 1854. The Arctic, a steam-powered cargo vessel, was en route from Liverpool, England to New York City when it encountered a violent storm in the North Atlantic. Despite the best efforts of its crew, the ship was unable to withstand the force of the waves and was dashed against the rocks, resulting in the loss of over 50 lives. The photograph, taken around the time of the disaster, depicts the remnants of the Arctic's hull, jutting out of the churning waters and surrounded by debris. The once proud vessel, now a mere shadow of its former glory, serves as a stark reminder of the unforgiving power of nature. Cape Race, located on the eastern tip of Newfoundland, was a notorious area for shipwrecks due to its treacherous waters and unpredictable weather. The region's rugged coastline and harsh conditions made rescue efforts challenging, and the fate of the Arctic's survivors was uncertain for many days. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when the sea was a primary mode of transportation and the risks of the open water were a daily reality for sailors and passengers alike.
