The Dreadful Night on the Burning Morro Castle Steamer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and haunting image captured by Achille Beltrame in 1934. This colour lithograph depicts the horrifying scene of a ship engulfed in flames, with terrified passengers panicking and desperately seeking escape. In this chaotic moment, men and women can be seen screaming for help as they scramble towards the deck. Some courageous sailors attempt to save themselves by jumping off the parapets, while others seek solace from a heroic priest who accepts confessions at the last minute. With compassion and bravery, he absolves and blesses those who approach him amidst the chaos. The intensity of this tragic event is palpable through Beltrame's masterful illustration. The raging fires cast an eerie glow on the faces of those trapped onboard, emphasizing their fear and desperation. As people fight for their lives, there is a sense of unity among them - regardless of social status or religious beliefs - as they all strive to survive. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of human resilience in times of crisis. It captures both the horror and heroism that emerge when faced with imminent danger. Beltrame's attention to detail brings forth emotions that resonate deeply within viewers, allowing us to reflect on our own capacity for courage and compassion in moments of adversity.
