EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print captures a dramatic moment in maritime history - the 'Futty Satam' of Bombay, carrying 300 immigrants and coolies, being towed to Mauritius by the Barque 'Otter' and the ship 'City of Poona' in January 1851. Painted by John Becket Hodgson, a midshipman on the 'City of Poona', this artwork showcases the resilience and determination of those involved in this perilous journey.
The vibrant colors of the sky at sunset create a sense of urgency and adventure as these vessels navigate through rough waters. The detailed depiction of each ship highlights their unique characteristics and adds depth to the scene.
As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the challenges faced by seafarers during the 19th century. The bravery and teamwork displayed by all those involved in towing the 'Futty Satam' serve as an inspiration to us all.
This print from the National Maritime Museum is not just a work of art, but a window into a world where courage and camaraderie were essential for survival at sea. Let it serve as a reminder that even in our modern age, there is much to learn from those who came before us.
