EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the wreck of the Somers ship off the coast of Bermuda in 1609. Sir George Somers, an English explorer, discovered the Bermudas the hard way when his ship ran aground on its treacherous reefs. Despite facing adversity, Somers took possession of these islands on behalf of Britain, forever changing their fate.
This event not only shaped the course of Bermuda's history but also inspired one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, The Tempest. The story of a shipwrecked man who takes control and manipulates those around him mirrors Somers' own experience on that fateful day in July.
The image captures the essence of this historical moment with striking detail and clarity. From the wreckage strewn across sandy shores to Sir George Somers surveying his new territory with determination in his eyes, every aspect is brought to life through Mary Evans Picture Library's expert photography.
As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to a time when exploration and discovery were fraught with danger yet filled with promise. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always potential for greatness to emerge.
