EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the Seamens Cross takes center stage as it is illuminated by floodlights against the night sky. This massive structure, designed in 1926, stands tall over New York City, serving as a guiding beacon for ships passing Sandy Hook in New Jersey. The grandeur of the Seamens Institute Cross is evident as it looms large and powerful, its intricate design visible even from afar. The cross's purpose becomes clear - to provide a navigational aid and symbol of hope for sailors braving the treacherous waters. The lighting technique employed in this portrait-like image enhances the dramatic effect of the scene. The floodlights cast an ethereal glow on the cross, creating a striking contrast against the dark backdrop. It almost seems as if divine light emanates from within. This photograph captures not only a remarkable architectural feat but also evokes emotions tied to faith and spirituality. As one gazes upon this awe-inspiring sight, thoughts may drift towards prayers whispered by sailors seeking safe passage or reflections on life's uncertainties amidst vast expanses of water. Preserved through archival means, this snapshot from 1920s America offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our connection to both nature and religion. It serves as a reminder that even in times when technology dominates navigation systems, symbols like lighthouses continue to hold significance – guiding lost souls back home with their unwavering light.
