EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to November 1875 with this historical engraving depicting scenes on board the SS Sumatra during its voyage to India via Aden and the Red Sea. Each image captures a different aspect of life on the ship, from holystoning the deck to witnessing a Hindoo woman's morning toilet.
From the verandah of Hotel de l'Europe in Aden to praying at sunset on the forecastle of the Sumatra, these images provide a glimpse into daily life aboard this vessel over 100 years ago. The engraving showcases moments both mundane and culturally significant, such as Lascars dining together and policemen in Aden.
One particularly striking image shows passengers seeking relief from the heat in "the coolest place in the ship" while sailing through the Red Sea. Another depicts a carpenter's mate hard at work, highlighting the labor that went into maintaining a functioning ship during long voyages.
This print is not just a piece of history; it is a window into an era when travel by sea was arduous yet full of adventure and cultural exchange. Add this engraving to your collection and immerse yourself in maritime history like never before.
