EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in maritime history - the collision between the "Cromartyshire" and "La Bourgogne". Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the sheer power and devastation caused by this tragic event. The "Cromartyshire" a ship with its own story to tell, collided with the ill-fated "La Bourgogne" forever etching their names into nautical lore. This photograph serves as a haunting reminder of that fateful day. The monochromatic tones add depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of what transpired on those treacherous waters. It's as if time stands still within this frame, allowing us to witness firsthand the aftermath of such a catastrophic incident. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we can't help but be transported back to September 10th, 1898 when chaos reigned supreme on these unforgiving seas. The photographer's keen eye captured not only ships colliding but also emotions running high among crew members desperately trying to salvage what they could from their sinking vessels. This print is more than just an image; it's a window into our past - reminding us of both humanity's triumphs and tragedies at sea. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with maritime history and our desire to preserve these moments for future generations.
