EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Boats Running for Shelter from a Storm into Refuge Cove, Night of July 7 1926" takes us back to a treacherous night in history. The image is an engraving by Edward Finden, published in 1828 as part of Sir John Franklin's narrative on his second expedition to the shores of the Polar Sea. In this gripping scene, we witness boats desperately seeking refuge from a raging storm. The dark and choppy waters reflect the imminent danger faced by these brave explorers as they navigate through the unforgiving ocean. The looming waves threaten to engulf their vessels at any moment. Sir John Franklin himself was a renowned British explorer who successfully mapped parts of the Arctic coast during his expeditions. This particular event took place on that fateful night in July 1926 when survival became paramount for these courageous men. The print captures not only the perilous nature of exploration but also showcases the resilience and determination exhibited by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and dangers that lie within our natural world. Preserved in private collection today, this historical artifact allows us to glimpse into an era where discovery and adventure were intertwined with risk and uncertainty.
