EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mississippi Steam Frigate battles the wrath of a typhoon in this lithograph by Currier & Ives. Created in 1854, this print captures the raw power and danger that sailors faced on the open seas during the 19th century. The scene is set amidst a tumultuous storm, with dark clouds looming overhead and waves crashing against the ship's sturdy hull. The choppy waters reflect the intensity of the tempest, as towering waves threaten to engulf the vessel at any moment. The Mississippi Steam Frigate stands tall amidst nature's fury, its sails billowing against strong winds. The skilled hands of American School artists have meticulously captured every detail of this dramatic encounter between man and nature. This artwork serves as a testament to both human resilience and Mother Nature's unpredictable force. It reminds us of the bravery exhibited by sailors who risked their lives navigating treacherous waters in pursuit of adventure or duty. Displayed proudly at The Mariners Museum in Newport News, Virginia, this lithograph transports viewers back to an era when seafaring was fraught with peril. It serves as a reminder that even today, despite technological advancements, we are still humbled by nature's might.
