EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of the tragic wreck of the Cromdale, a fully rigged iron sailing barque, at Bass Point on the rugged coast of The Lizard in Cornwall, England, on 23 May 1913. The Cromdale, a beautiful and majestic vessel of the sea, met its fate in the treacherous waters of the English Channel, succumbing to the unforgiving power of the sea and the unyielding rocks of Bass Point. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, depicts the remnants of the once proud ship, now broken and battered, surrounded by the churning, rough waters of the sea. The foamy white waves crash against the jagged rocks, creating a stark contrast to the stillness and tranquility of the calm sky above. The iron hull of the Cromdale lies twisted and torn, a testament to the destructive force of nature. The cargo that once filled the hold of the Cromdale, now lost to the depths of the sea, is a reminder of the valuable commodities that were once aboard, destined for far-off shores. The sight of the wrecked ship would have been a haunting one for the local fishermen and sailors, who knew all too well the dangers of the sea and the unpredictable weather that could turn even the most experienced mariners' journey into a perilous one. The Cromdale's wreck at Bass Point serves as a poignant reminder of the respect and awe that the sea inspires, and the fragility of human endeavor in the face of its power. This haunting image, taken in the early 1900s, is a poignant reminder of a time when the sea was a law unto itself, and the fate of ships and their crews were at the mercy of the elements.
