EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a selection of the crew members of the Indus, an emigrant ship that sailed from India to Australia in 1872. Among the weathered faces, the engraved portrait of the black cook stands out as a testament to the multicultural nature of seafaring crews during this period. The Indus was one of many ships that transported thousands of emigrants from India to various parts of the British Empire, contributing to the significant migration wave from the Indian subcontinent to Australia and other countries. The crew members in this print, with their worn expressions and time-worn features, offer a glimpse into the arduous journey and the harsh realities of life at sea during the late 19th century. Their stories are an essential part of the broader historical narrative of global migration and the complex interconnections between different parts of the world. The Indus, like many other emigrant ships, played a crucial role in shaping the demographic and cultural landscape of the destinations it reached. The crew members, hailing from diverse backgrounds, brought with them a wealth of experiences and skills that enriched the communities they joined. Their stories, though often overlooked in the annals of history, are an essential part of the rich tapestry of human migration and the interconnected world we live in today. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the human element of historical events and the enduring impact of migration on the lives of individuals and communities. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of our shared history and the importance of preserving the stories and memories of those who came before us.
