Cote Emerald Emeraude Hilda Malo Ship Wreck Wreck
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the shipwreck of the Hilda off the stunning Cote d'Emeraude, or Emerald Coast, in St Malo, France. The date was November 19, 1905, and the once proud vessel now lies in ruins, battered against the rocky shoreline. The stormy seas and ominous sky add to the sense of drama and despair, as onlookers gather to witness the tragic scene. The Hilda, a merchant ship, was likely en route to its destination when it was caught in a violent storm, resulting in its unfortunate demise. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable and often treacherous nature of the sea, and the risks that mariners took in the pursuit of commerce and travel during this era. Despite the destruction wrought by the storm, the natural beauty of the Cote d'Emeraude remains evident in the photograph, with its rugged cliffs and crashing waves. This image, preserved in time, provides a glimpse into the past and the stories that unfolded on the shores of St Malo long ago.
