EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for a fleet of ships from Gravesend, England, bound for Canada in 1845. The ships, belonging to the esteemed Hudson's Bay Company, were loaded with essential supplies and eager explorers and settlers, embarking on a journey that would take them across the treacherous North Atlantic and into the heart of the Canadian wilderness. The Hudson's Bay Company, founded in 1670, had long been a significant player in the European exploration and colonization of North America. By the mid-19th century, the company had established a vast trading network that stretched from the Arctic Circle to the Great Plains, and its ships were a common sight in the waters of the Atlantic and the Hudson Bay. The ships in this print are shown under full sail, their sails billowing in the wind as they leave the English coast behind. The sky above is clear and blue, with only a few clouds to break the horizon. The ships are surrounded by smaller boats, which ferry passengers and cargo to and from the larger vessels. Despite the sense of adventure and excitement that this image conveys, the journey ahead would not be an easy one. The ships would face storms, ice floes, and the ever-present danger of encountering other vessels on the open sea. But for those aboard, the promise of a new life in Canada, filled with opportunity and adventure, was worth the risk. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and discovery, and serves as a reminder of the indelible impact that the Hudson's Bay Company had on the history of Canada and the world.
