EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "GALE IN THE ATLANTIC, 1878" we witness the dramatic aftermath of a treacherous storm that struck the Atlantic Ocean in October of that year. The image showcases the ill-fated steamboat City of Houston, which has been abandoned after running aground on Frying-pan Shoals off the coast of North Carolina. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity and power of nature as waves crash against the vessel's hull. The late storm has left its mark on both ship and crew, symbolizing the dangers faced by seafarers during this era. This maritime disaster serves as a reminder of how unpredictable and unforgiving life at sea can be. The scene is set against a backdrop of dark clouds, emphasizing the turbulent conditions experienced during this gale. The South-Eastern coastline adds to the sense of isolation and vulnerability felt by those aboard City of Houston. This poignant image immortalizes not only a specific moment in history but also represents countless stories from America's maritime past. It serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis, highlighting both loss and survival amidst adversity.
