EDITORS COMMENTS
Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship" is an evocative and intriguing historical image that has captivated audiences for over a century. This print, created in 1894, depicts a group of rats scurrying away from a ship that is clearly in peril. The ship's sails are tattered, its mast is broken, and water is flooding its deck. The rats seem to sense the imminent doom and are making a hasty exit, leaving the ship behind. This image has become a popular subject of superstition and folk lore in maritime history. The belief that rats abandon a sinking ship is an old seafaring superstition that dates back to at least the 17th century. Sailors believed that the presence of rats on a ship was a good omen, as they were thought to bring good luck and prevent the ship from sinking. However, when rats were seen leaving a ship, it was seen as a sign of impending disaster. The exact origin of this superstition is unclear, but it may have arisen from the fact that rats are excellent swimmers and are able to survive in water for long periods of time. When a ship was sinking, rats would have an advantage over the human passengers and crew, and their departure may have been the only visible sign of the impending disaster. Despite the fact that modern scientific studies have debunked the idea that rats can predict a ship's demise, the image of rats leaving a sinking ship remains a powerful symbol of impending disaster and the unpredictability of the sea. This print, with its haunting depiction of rats abandoning a doomed ship, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and folklore of the maritime world. Overall, "Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship" is a fascinating and intriguing historical image that continues to captivate and intrigue audiences today. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the power of folklore and the human fascination with the sea and its mysteries.
