EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the tragic fate of the ship, Bay of Panama, amidst the treacherous waters off Nare Point in Falmouth, Cornwall. In March 1891, during the infamous blizzard that swept across the region, this majestic four-masted vessel met its untimely demise. Bound from Calcutta to Dundee with a precious cargo of 13,000 bales of jute, Captain David Wright made a valiant attempt to navigate through deteriorating weather conditions. As he approached the Cornish coast and sought soundings for safe passage, nature's fury intensified. The ship found itself battling against relentless winds and snowfall while under bare poles. Trapped in a blinding blizzard that obscured their surroundings, Bay of Panama was mercilessly driven onto the unforgiving cliffs at Nare Point—seven miles away from Falmouth. The consequences were devastating. Captain Wright himself perished alongside his wife and several crew members who drowned in those icy waters. Others clung desperately to what remained of the rigging but succumbed to freezing temperatures before help could arrive. Out of an initial crew complement of forty brave souls aboard this ill-fated vessel, only seventeen managed to survive this harrowing ordeal. This poignant photograph serves as a solemn reminder not only of human vulnerability against nature's wrath but also pays tribute to those lost at sea on that fateful day in March 1891—a somber chapter forever etched into maritime history.
