The Rum-Runner - A Glimpse into the Heroic Tales of Modern Adventure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, titled "The Rum-Runner" takes us back to a bygone era in the 19th century. Captured by an anonymous European photographer, this print showcases a thrilling moment from the pages of history that still resonates with excitement today. Intriguingly, this image is actually an illustration for the book "Further Heroes of Modern Adventure" written by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman in 1936. It depicts a daring escapade involving rum smuggling on the high seas - an act that was both illegal and highly dangerous during prohibition times. The focal point of this scene is a majestic schooner named Marie Louise, helmed by none other than Serge Zolo, a renowned engineer turned rum-runner. With sails billowing against the wind, Marie Louise gracefully glides through treacherous waters near Cape Flattery off Vancouver Island. This photograph not only captures the essence of adventure but also pays homage to those who defied societal norms to pursue their own version of heroism. The courage displayed by individuals like Serge Zolo reminds us that heroes can be found even in unconventional places. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let it transport us to an era when danger lurked around every corner and brave souls like Zolo fearlessly sailed towards their destiny amidst turbulent waves and clandestine pursuits.
