EDITORS COMMENTS
The Loss of the 'Jeannette', Separation of the Boats during a Gale, Seven PM, 12 September 1881 (engraving) captures a harrowing moment in history. This powerful image depicts the tragic events that unfolded during a polar expedition gone wrong. In this engraving by William Lionel Wyllie, we witness the desperate struggle for survival as Lieutenant Danenhower and his crew find themselves separated from their ship, the 'Jeannette', amidst treacherous weather conditions. The men are seen letting down their sail in an attempt to navigate through the raging gale. The scene is filled with tension and uncertainty as each boat fights against nature's fury. Captain De Long's boat can be spotted in the distance, while Lieutenant Chipps' boat battles alongside them. The whale boat and tugboat serve as reminders of both hope and despair. This artwork serves as a haunting reminder of the perils faced by explorers who dared to venture into uncharted territories. It encapsulates not only the physical dangers but also highlights themes of resilience, camaraderie, and human determination in face of adversity. Through this historical print, we are transported back to that fateful night on September 12th, 1881 when lives were forever changed. It stands as a testament to those brave individuals who risked everything for discovery and knowledge.
