. This print takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a haunting scene off Britain's North Sea coast. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1865, vividly captures the wreckage of a steamship trapped amidst treacherous rocks. The image transports us to a time when maritime travel was both thrilling and perilous.
