EDITORS COMMENTS
An Autumn Cruise with the Channel Squadron: The 'Phantom Ship' -- A Sailing Vessel 'Running the Electric Gauntlet' (1890) is an evocative and enigmatic photograph from the pages of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper published in Britain during the late 19th century. The image captures the haunting beauty of a sailing vessel, the 'Phantom Ship,' navigating the English Channel under the cover of night, surrounded by the inky black waters and illuminated by the electric floodlights of the Channel Squadron's battleships. The 'Phantom Ship,' a ghostly apparition on the water, is a striking contrast to the modern warships that encircle it. The sailors on board, silhouetted against the bright lights, seem almost insignificant against the vast expanse of the sea. The photograph, taken in the autumn of 1890, captures the sense of wonder and awe that the new technology of electric floodlights brought to naval warfare and transportation. The Channel Squadron, a British naval force responsible for patrolling the English Channel, used the floodlights to illuminate the waters and make it easier to spot enemy vessels. The 'Phantom Ship,' a sailing vessel, would have been a target for these modern warships, but in this photograph, it appears as a beautiful and mysterious figure, seemingly defying the advances of time and technology. The photograph is a testament to the power of the press to capture and preserve moments in history, and to the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that sail upon it. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the sailors on board, the battles that may have been fought, and the sense of adventure and discovery that drew them to the sea in the first place.
