The atmosphere is palpable as onlookers gather along the shoreline, their anticipation evident in their expressions and body language. The vast expanse of water stretches out before them, hinting at both danger and hope. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 3rd, 1866.
