EDITORS COMMENTS

This figurehead, titled 'Peruvian,' once graced the prow of a grand ocean liner that met its unfortunate end off the coast of Seaford, Sussex, England, in February 1899. The ship, named Peruvian, was battered mercilessly by the relentless waves, sending sparks flying as it collided against the sea wall. The historical photograph, taken during this chaotic scene, vividly captures the moment of impact. The Peruvian, a transport vessel, was likely on its way to or from the Americas when it was shipwrecked.

This evocative photograph, with its rich history and intriguing backstory, is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the stories it holds within its depths.
