EDITORS COMMENTS
Storm and Stress at Sea: Two Thrilling Shipping Incidents of the Week Above: The Snowdon Range, a ship on a perilous voyage from Philadelphia to Ireland across the stormy Atlantic, is depicted in this photograph by renowned maritime artist G.H. Davis. The Snowdon Range, having braved the relentless waves and turbulent weather, narrowly escaped destruction off the coast of Cork Harbour in Queenstown, Ireland, in 1913. The ship's hull is shown being driven hither and thither by the powerful forces of the sea, a testament to the unyielding strength and resilience required for a successful transatlantic journey. Below: In another harrowing incident, the Lamport and Holt liner, Veronese, was driven ashore on the Portuguese coast. Passengers aboard the vessel were in grave danger as the ship was battered by the relentless waves and winds. Despite the treacherous conditions, a daring rescue operation was launched, and all passengers were safely rescued, thanks to the bravery and quick thinking of the local fishermen and port authorities. This photograph, titled "Storm and Stress at Sea: The Two Thrilling Shipping Incidents of the Week," is a poignant reminder of the inherent dangers and unpredictability of the sea. The Snowdon Range and the Veronese, two ships that weathered the storm and emerged victorious, serve as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of perseverance.
