Derelict Lake Steamer - A Haunting Reminder of Africa's Maritime History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the decaying beauty of the Robert Coryndon, a once majestic lake steamer that now lies abandoned on its side at Butiaba, along the eastern shores of Lake Albert in Africa. Despite succumbing to rust and time, this 850-ton twin-screw steamship refuses to bow down to the overwhelming forces of nature. The SS Robert Coryndon was launched into service in 1930 and quickly became an icon of African maritime history. Regarded as a symbol of resilience and exploration, it sailed these waters for many years, carrying passengers and cargo across vast distances. However, fate had different plans for this vessel. Now reduced to a haunting shipwreck against the backdrop of Lake Albert's serene beauty, the derelict steamer serves as a poignant reminder of bygone eras. Its weathered exterior tells tales untold; stories whispered through rusted metal and shattered windows.

The juxtaposition between man-made creation and unyielding nature is strikingly evident here.

The Robert Coryndon stands as a testament to human ambition amidst unforgiving landscapes –
