EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1870, we are transported back in time to witness the dramatic scene of the missing screw-steamer "City of Boston". The image captures the essence of a late stormy night at sea, with crashing waves and an ominous sky setting the stage for a gripping tale. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the exterior of this transatlantic transportation vessel. We can almost feel the power and force behind each wave as it engulfs the ship, highlighting both its vulnerability and strength. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship of this steamboat but also its sheer size against nature's might. As we gaze upon this historical print, our imagination runs wild with questions about what could have happened on that fateful journey. What caused this majestic vessel to go missing? Was it swallowed by treacherous waters or lost amidst a raging storm? The mystery surrounding "City of Boston" lingers in our minds, leaving room for endless speculation. This wood engraving serves as a testament to human ambition and innovation during an era when steam-powered ships revolutionized transportation across vast oceans. It reminds us that even in times when technology fails or nature proves relentless, there is still beauty to be found within these stories.
