EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1911 with this historical illustration capturing the moment of emigrants embarking at the Royal Albert Docks in London. The image shows a group of individuals about to board the New Zealand liner Paparoa, destined for Queensland, Australia.
During this period, the Government of Queensland was actively seeking out settlers and had employment opportunities lined up for many of them. This initiative aimed to attract the best class of settler to help develop and grow the region.
The scene depicted in this print is a snapshot of a significant moment in history when individuals were making life-changing decisions to embark on a new journey across continents. The hustle and bustle of the docks, mixed with emotions of excitement and apprehension, can almost be felt through this illustration.
As you gaze upon this piece, take a moment to reflect on the courage and determination it took for these emigrants to leave behind their familiar surroundings in search of new opportunities in a foreign land. Let yourself be transported back in time and imagine what it must have been like for those about to set sail towards an unknown future.
