EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Keel-hauling" takes us back to the thrilling era of pirates and buccaneers on the high seas. Created by George Alfred Williams, a renowned artist and author, this artwork was featured in his book "The Boys Book of Pirates and the Great Sea Rovers" published in 1913. The image depicts a harrowing scene of punishment at sea - keel-hauling. A criminal pirate is being disciplined for his misdeeds by being dragged under the ship's hull from one side to another. The weight attached to him ensures that he remains submerged during this torturous ordeal. Williams' attention to detail is evident as he captures every element with precision. The main yard, iron weights, and ropes are all depicted flawlessly, adding authenticity to this portrayal of pirate life. The atmosphere is tense as fellow buccaneers watch on, serving as a reminder of the consequences faced by those who defy their code. This engraving transports us into an age where piracy ruled the waves and outlaws roamed freely across vast oceans. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the dangers faced by sailors during that time and society's fascination with these daring sea rovers. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate Williams' talent for capturing historical moments through artistry.
