Across Two Oceans, the Atlantic Voyage - A Humorous Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by Melton Prior, we are transported back to a time when sea travel was both wretched and interesting. The scene depicts a black steamship departing on its Atlantic voyage, leaving behind a bustling port filled with people bidding their farewells. With an eye for detail and humor, Prior captures the essence of this momentous occasion. The ship, affectionately known as the "Tub" is being tugged away from the dock by the trusty Alexandra. On board, we see Captain Stokers overseeing his crew while passengers eagerly await their adventure across two vast oceans. The Mother of Music ensemble provides entertainment for those lucky enough to secure passage on this remarkable vessel. As our eyes wander through the print, we notice various characters and scenes that add depth to the narrative. From sellers hawking pool tickets to soldiers from foreign contingents mingling with fellow travelers, every corner tells a story. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era where maritime journeys were not only arduous but also filled with moments of levity and camaraderie. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of sea travel technology while celebrating the spirit of exploration that still captivates us today.
