EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Volturno Ablaze 1913" captures a harrowing moment in maritime history as the passenger liner Volturno is engulfed in flames during a fierce storm. In October of 1913, while en route from Rotterdam to New York, disaster struck as the ship caught fire, sending shockwaves through the transport industry. Despite the chaos and danger of the situation, some passengers were miraculously rescued from the burning vessel. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the fragility of life at sea and the bravery displayed by those who risked their own safety to save others. This historical photograph not only documents a tragic event but also highlights the resilience and humanity that can emerge in times of crisis. The black-and-white tones add an eerie atmosphere to the scene, emphasizing the intensity of the blaze and tumultuous weather conditions. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when ocean travel was fraught with peril and uncertainty. The story behind "Volturno Ablaze 1913" is one that will forever be etched into our collective memory, reminding us of both tragedy and triumph on the high seas.
