EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the departure of The Lizzie Webber, the first emigrant ship from Sunderland to Australia. Taken in 1852 and published in The Illustrated London News, this lithograph showcases a significant event in British history. The image depicts a bustling scene at the port as crowds gather to bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on an arduous journey towards a new life down under. The ship stands tall and majestic, ready to set sail into uncharted waters, symbolizing hope and opportunity for those seeking a fresh start. Amidst the commotion, we see a steam tugboat guiding The Lizzie Webber out of the harbor while rowing boats navigate through the water. A lighthouse stands stoically in the background, serving as both a beacon of guidance and a poignant reminder that these brave souls are leaving behind familiar shores. Flags wave proudly in the wind, representing both national pride and individual identities. Passengers can be seen onboard eagerly anticipating their voyage ahead - men, women, children all united by their shared dreams of prosperity and adventure. This evocative print not only captures an important moment in maritime history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us of our ancestors' courage as they embarked on perilous journeys across vast oceans in search of better lives.
