Currier in New York around that time, depicts a scene filled with despair and sorrow. The image portrays the immense scale of this maritime disaster as dark storm clouds loom overhead and fierce waves crash against the doomed vessel. The Arctic's once majestic silhouette is now engulfed in chaos and destruction. Despite its grandeur, it stands no chance against nature's relentless power. As we gaze at this lithograph, we are reminded of the fragility of human life and our vulnerability to unforeseen circumstances.
