EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases the majestic Clipper Ship Red Jacket, a true marvel of maritime engineering. Created by renowned artists Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives in 1855, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the ship's daring journey through treacherous ice floes off Cape Horn. The Red Jacket was an iconic vessel that played a significant role in transatlantic trade during the mid-19th century. In August 1854, it embarked on a perilous voyage from Australia to Liverpool, braving the hazardous Drake Passage. This image immortalizes a moment when the ship found itself surrounded by towering icebergs and vast expanses of sea ice. The sheer size and grandeur of the triple-masted clipper is awe-inspiring as it navigates through this icy obstacle course. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the choppy waters to the billowing sails that propel this magnificent vessel forward. This lithograph serves as both a historical record and a testament to human resilience in face of danger at sea. It reminds us of the bravery and skill required for successful navigation along trade routes like Cape Horn, where nature's forces can be unforgiving. As we admire this vintage masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most dangerous yet awe-inspiring journeys undertaken by these remarkable ships.
