EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, titled 'From New to Old England: A Religious Service on Board the Inman Steamer C,' offers a glimpse into the unique and transformative experience of emigration during the late 19th century. The image captures a small but significant moment in the long journey across the Atlantic, as passengers gather in the ship's ornate saloon for a religious service led by the Captain. The Inman Steamer C, a symbol of progress and modernity, is depicted in all its steam-powered glory. The interior of the ship is adorned with rich wood paneling, stained glass windows, and ornate decorative elements, creating an atmosphere of comfort and elegance amidst the vast expanse of the ocean. The passengers, hailing from diverse backgrounds and faiths, come together in this shared space, united by their common goal of starting anew in their adopted homeland. The Captain, standing at the front of the gathering, leads the service with a sense of authority and compassion. His presence serves as a reminder of the vital role that ship captains played in the lives of emigrants, not just as sailors, but as spiritual guides and community leaders. The religious service, held amidst the cramped and unfamiliar surroundings of the ship, would have provided a sense of familiarity and comfort, helping to alleviate the anxieties and uncertainties of the journey. This historical engraving, dating back to 1879, offers a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the statistics and facts of emigration. It invites us to reflect on the courage, resilience, and determination of those who embarked on this journey, leaving their old lives behind and setting sail for a new beginning in Old England.
