EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic sailing ship, Success, drifting gracefully on the open waters. Launched in Moulmein, Burma, in the year 1790, Success holds the distinction of being the oldest ship afloat in 1900. The British convict ship, with her rich history, carries the weight of time and tales of the past. The Success was not just a vessel for transportation, but a testament to the maritime prowess of the British during the colonial era. Her hull, weathered by the elements and adorned with intricate carvings, tells a story of the countless voyages she undertook across the vast oceans. The year 1900 marked a significant milestone in her long and storied existence. Despite being over 210 years old, she continued to sail, defying the odds and proving her worth. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's historical significance and the era of exploration and discovery that shaped our world. Launched in a time when the world was being connected through sea trade and colonial expansion, the Success stands as a symbol of the human spirit and the indomitable will to explore and conquer the unknown. Her sails, billowing in the wind, evoke a sense of adventure and the spirit of the brave souls who sailed her through the ages. This photograph is not just a mere image, but a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the British and the world as a whole.
