EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the tragic aftermath of the wreck of the German steamship Deutschland off Kentish Knock in the Thames Estuary in December 1875. Several lives were lost in this devastating maritime disaster, including five Franciscan nuns whose deaths would go on to inspire renowned poet G.M. Hopkins.
The image is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who braved the seas for transport during this period of history. The wreckage serves as a somber memorial to those who perished that fateful day, their stories forever etched into the fabric of time.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when tragedy struck without warning, leaving behind only fragments of what once was. The sight of the wrecked steamship is both chilling and poignant, a testament to the power and unpredictability of nature.
In capturing this moment from our past, Mary Evans Picture Library allows us to reflect on the fragility of life and the resilience of those who survived such harrowing events. May we never forget those who lost their lives aboard the Deutschland, nor fail to honor their memory through works such as Hopkins' inspired poetry.
