EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The ship Tyburnia leaves Madeira under fire from a custom house on The Loo Rock," transports us back in time to the year 1885. The image, taken from the collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean. The Tyburnia, a majestic sailing ship, is depicted in the foreground, preparing to set sail from the picturesque shores of Madeira. The ship's sails are fully hoisted, and its rigging is taut against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The vessel's departure, however, is not without incident. In the background, a custom house on The Loo Rock is seen engulfed in flames, sending plumes of smoke billowing into the air. The cause of the fire is not clear, but it is evident that the Tyburnia and its crew are leaving the scene in a hurry. The custom house, which served as a tax collection point for ships entering the port of Madeira, may have been the target of arson or an unfortunate accident. Regardless of the reason, the image captures the excitement and danger of seafaring life in the late 19th century. The photograph also highlights the strategic importance of Madeira as a key port of call for ships traveling between Europe and the Americas. The island's natural harbor and favorable climate made it a popular stopover for sailing vessels, and the custom house on The Loo Rock was a crucial part of the commercial exchange that took place there. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of shipping, trade, and the people who made their living on the sea. The image's composition, with the ship leaving the fiery scene behind, also speaks to the sense of adventure and risk that came with life at sea during this period.
