EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in maritime history - the collision of White Star Lines' majestic flagship, the screw steamship Royal Standard, with an iceberg in the vast South Atlantic. The incident occurred on 4th April 1864 during the ship's voyage from Melbourne, Australia to England. This wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary English newspaper, showcases the sheer power and vulnerability of seafaring vessels amidst nature's formidable forces. The image transports us back to a time when sailing ships ruled the seas and technological advancements were pushing boundaries. The Royal Standard stands tall against a backdrop of turbulent waves and icy peaks as it valiantly battles its fate. The intricate detailing of this engraving highlights every nuance of this historic event - from the ship's regal exterior to its unfortunate encounter with an imposing ice berg.
