This historical engraving from 1872 transports us to the deck of a mail steamer in the Red Sea, where the oppressive heat of the area has driven some of the crew and passengers to seek refuge on the front deck at night. The scene depicts a group of individuals sleeping peacefully, perhaps hoping to catch a cool breeze as they rest under the starry sky.
The image captures an important moment in maritime history, showcasing not only the harsh conditions faced by those traveling through this region but also highlighting the resilience and adaptability of seafarers during that time. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by sailors and passengers alike as they navigated treacherous waters in pursuit of their destinations.
As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like aboard a mail steamer over a century ago.
