EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, titled 'Emigrants queuing for Berth Numbers on their ship, Gravesend,' captures a poignant moment in the history of Australian immigration. The image, created in 1887, depicts a crowd of emigrant passengers, mostly women and children, anxiously waiting to be allocated berth numbers for their voyage to Australia. The ship, which can be seen in the background, looms large over the scene, a symbol of both the promise of a new life and the daunting journey that lies ahead. In the foreground, a group of women are still weeping at their parting from loved ones. Their tears speak to the bittersweet nature of emigration, the mix of excitement and sadness that comes with leaving behind all that is familiar. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of migration, the families torn apart by the pursuit of a better life in a far-off land. The scene at Gravesend, a port town in Kent, England, was a common sight in the late 19th century as thousands of Australians set sail from these shores. The allocation of berth numbers was an essential process, ensuring that passengers were assigned a specific space on the ship where they would spend the duration of their journey. This historical engraving, from the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was smaller, and the journey to a new life was both an adventure and a sacrifice. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who made the journey, and to the enduring bonds of family and love that sustained them through the challenges of emigration.
