Archive Carpathia Cruise Fenwick Gibraltar Inches Negative Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, part of the Fenwick Archive, showcases a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, as it presents the original negative of Gibraltar, taken from the Carpathia in 1912. Measuring 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this image offers a unique perspective of the iconic rock and the bustling harbor, as seen from the deck of a White Star Line luxury liner. The Carpathia, a renowned ocean liner of its time, was known for its elegance and sophistication, providing first-class passage for passengers seeking adventure and luxury travel. In this image, the ship's grandeur is evident as it sails serenely in the background, dwarfed by the imposing presence of Gibraltar. The rock, a British Overseas Territory, stands proudly at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, its distinctive shape silhouetted against the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The negative's grainy texture and subtle details offer a raw, unaltered view of the scene, transporting us back in time to an era of elegant ocean travel and discovery. The Fenwick Archive, home to an extensive collection of historical photographs, continues to preserve and share such precious moments from our collective past, allowing us to appreciate the richness and diversity of our history.
