EDITORS COMMENTS
The Loss of the Steamship Clan Macduff, 1881: A Tragic Tale of Bravery and Peril". This print captures a haunting moment in maritime history - the tragic loss of the steamship Clan Macduff in 1881. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, depicts the ill-fated vessel sinking amidst treacherous weather off the coast of Ireland. With its paddle wheels churning through tumultuous seas, this paddle wheel steamer met its untimely demise, claiming the lives of 32 individuals. In this poignant scene, we witness a glimmer of hope as another ship named Upupa emerges on the horizon. The Cork liner bravely rushes to aid those aboard Clan Macduff but arrives too late to save all souls. This heart-wrenching image serves as a reminder of both human vulnerability and resilience in face of nature's fury. The London Illustrated News published this engraving in 1881, ensuring that such stories were not forgotten amidst time's passage. Today, thanks to Ken Welsh's remarkable preservation efforts and his exclusive rights to this photograph until 2023, we can still bear witness to this historical event. As we gaze upon this print with reverence for those lost at sea so long ago, let us remember their courage and honor their memory. May it serve as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for safer means of transport and our unwavering determination to conquer adversity on our journeys across vast oceans.
