Putting the Obelisk in the Hold of the Steamer, 1881 - A Glimpse into America's Maritime History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in 19th century America. The image captures an unknown creator's perspective on the monumental task of loading an obelisk onto a cargo ship. Published in "St. Nicholas: Volume VIII. Part I" by Scribner & Co. , New York in 1881, this illustration offers a glimpse into the country's transportation and maritime industry during that era. The scene unfolds at a bustling dock, where workers meticulously maneuver the colossal obelisk towards the hold of a steamer ship. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to their laborious efforts as they navigate around other ships and cargo on this busy water transport hub. The photograph showcases not only the impressive engineering feat required to load such heavy cargo but also highlights America's growing influence as it became a major player in global trade and commerce during this time period. As we admire this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how crucial ports like these were for connecting nations across vast oceans. This particular image serves as a testament to human ingenuity, determination, and collaboration within United States' maritime history. Preserved by The Print Collector through Heritage Images, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon our nation's rich heritage while celebrating those who contributed to its growth through their tireless work along these docks over centuries past.
