EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time during the fateful collision between the RMS Empress of Ireland and the collier Storstad on May 29,1914. As disaster struck in Canada's St. Lawrence River, passengers aboard the sinking steamship valiantly attempted to launch a lifeboat amidst an atmosphere of panic and desperation. The image, sourced from a contemporary English newspaper illustration, showcases the early aftermath of this maritime catastrophe. The exterior chaos is palpable as survivors scramble for safety while others fight against time to save their fellow travelers. The failure of launching a lifeboat serves as a poignant reminder of the immense challenges faced during such calamities. With its historical significance and dramatic portrayal, this print offers us a glimpse into one of history's most tragic shipwrecks - an event that claimed over 1,000 lives. It stands as a testament to both human vulnerability and resilience in times of crisis.
