Herzogin Cecilie stuck on the rocks at Bolt Head, Salcombe, Devon. 13th June 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a fateful day in maritime history. The image captures the Herzogin Cecilie, a majestic tall ship of its time, tragically stranded on the unforgiving rocks of Bolt Head in Salcombe, Devon. The year was 1936 when this magnificent vessel met its untimely fate. As we gaze upon the photograph, we can't help but be drawn into the sheer power and beauty of this barque-like ship that once sailed proudly across vast seas. Now reduced to a wreck against an imposing coastline backdrop. The scene is hauntingly evocative; remnants of masts and rigging jutting out amidst crashing waves serve as reminders of both man's triumphs and his vulnerability in nature's grasp. This snapshot freezes a moment forever etched in time - capturing not only the physical wreckage but also conveying a sense of loss and melancholy. Transporting us back to an era long gone, this print encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined seafaring journeys during the 1930s. It serves as a poignant reminder that even grand vessels are no match for Mother Nature's unpredictable forces. As we admire this historical artifact through our modern lens, let it remind us to cherish our own voyages - whether they be literal or metaphorical - with humility
