1835 Escape Lightning Misses Narrow Phenomena Storm Thunderbolt

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a heart-stopping moment in history as a French sailing vessel narrowly escapes being struck by a thunderbolt during a fierce storm at sea. The dramatic scene, dating back to 1835, showcases the sheer power and unpredictability of natural phenomena like lightning. The image perfectly encapsulates the intensity of the situation, with dark storm clouds looming overhead and waves crashing against the ship's hull. The crew members can be seen scrambling to secure sails and brace for impact as the thunderbolt strikes dangerously close to their vessel. Despite the imminent danger, luck is on their side as the lightning bolt misses its target by mere inches, allowing the ship to continue its journey through treacherous waters unscathed. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of both the fragility of life at sea and mankind's enduring resilience in facing nature's wrath. As we gaze upon this breathtaking moment frozen in time, we are reminded of our own vulnerability in the face of Mother Nature's fury. It is a testament to human perseverance and survival instincts that such harrowing experiences can be captured and preserved for future generations to marvel at.
