EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a dramatic moment in maritime history - the Swedish barque Berean stranded off Tilbury in 1910. The image shows the aftermath of a collision between the Berean and a German steamer near Gravesend, which caused the vessel to start taking on water.
Despite being towed to safety at Tilbury, the situation took a turn for the worse as the Barque ran aground in its final moments. The sheer size and scale of this historic event is evident in this print, with every detail meticulously preserved.
The photo serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by sailors during this era of seafaring, where collisions and accidents were not uncommon occurrences. It also highlights the importance of quick thinking and skilled navigation when dealing with such emergencies.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of many untold stories from our rich maritime past. The Barque Berean may have met an unfortunate fate that day, but its legacy lives on through images like these that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
