EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured within the frame of this historical print is a haunting scene that tells the tragic tale of the French SS Paknam. The year was 1895, and on her maiden voyage from Robert Napier's shipyard in Govan to Le Havre, destined for Tonkin in French Indo China, fate dealt a cruel hand to this 700-ton cargo steamer. Lost amidst dense fog near Greeb Point on May 13th, she met her untimely demise. The image showcases the general view of the wreckage strewn across Pendeen in St Just Penwith, Cornwall. The remnants of what was once a mighty vessel now lay scattered along the rugged coastline. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but ponder over the lives affected by this maritime disaster. Though captured by an unknown photographer, their lens has immortalized not just a shipwreck but also echoes of history and human resilience against nature's wrath. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how treacherous waters can be even for modern steam-powered vessels. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print invites us to reflect upon Cornish shipping heritage and transport challenges faced during that era. Let it stand as an enduring testament to those who braved unpredictable seas while navigating through life's uncertainties.
