EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Mail Steamer, 'Moselle,' was a British steamship that met its unfortunate end near the port of Colon in 1891. In this haunting photograph from 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper,' Volume 44, July to December, 1891, the once proud vessel lies wrecked on a reef, a testament to the unforgiving power of the sea. The 'Moselle' was a vital part of the Victorian-era transport system, carrying passengers and cargo between Britain and its colonies. However, on this fateful day, the ship struck the reef and despite valiant efforts to save her, she became a total wreck. The exact cause of the accident is unknown, but the image speaks volumes about the risks and challenges of water transportation during this era. The 'Moselle's' tragic demise would have been front-page news in Britain and around the world, a grim reminder of the perils of the sea and the importance of maritime safety. This poignant photograph, taken by an unknown artist, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and a sobering reminder of the power of nature.
