Created by the talented artist William Heysham Overend, this print showcases the intense and perilous work undertaken by divers during a marine salvage operation. The scene depicts a group of brave divers diligently working on the sunken wreckage of HMS Eurydice. The shipwreck, which occurred in 1878, was a devastating event that claimed the lives of over 300 naval personnel.
