EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the SS Umbria, a Cunard steamship, during a historic and unexpected adventure in December 1892. The routine transatlantic crossing from Queenstown to New York was turned into an 13-day journey when the ship's propeller shaft unexpectedly broke. With no means of propulsion, the Umbria drifted in the Atlantic, turning a week-long trip into an adventure that tested the ingenuity and resilience of its passengers and crew. The ship's engineer, undeterred by the challenge, set to work fashioning a makeshift propeller shaft to get the Umbria moving again. The process took several days, but eventually, the ship was able to continue its journey, albeit with a newfound appreciation for the importance of a reliable propulsion system. The SS Umbria's unexpected detour made headlines around the world, and the story of its daring repair became a part of maritime history. This engraving serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of the sea and the resourcefulness of those who sail upon it.
