EDITORS COMMENTS
The historical significance of the Departure of the Emigrant Ship Lizzie Webber in 1852 is captured beautifully in this engraving. The two-masted ship, a symbol of hope and new beginnings, sets sail from Sunderland to Australia, marking the first emigrant voyage on this route. As the Lizzie Webber leaves port, small boats and a steam tug accompany her on her journey across the vast ocean.
On shore, hundreds of people gather to bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on this life-changing adventure. The image is filled with emotion as families say goodbye, knowing they may never see each other again. The sense of anticipation and trepidation is palpable as the ship disappears into the horizon.
This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by emigrants seeking a better life in distant lands. It captures a moment frozen in time, immortalizing the bravery and sacrifice of those who dared to venture into the unknown.
As we gaze upon this scene from 1852, we are transported back to a time when journeys were long and arduous, but filled with promise and possibility. The Departure of the Emigrant Ship Lizzie Webber stands as a testament to human resilience and determination in the face of uncertainty.
