EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century beautifully captures a tug towing a ship into the harbour at night, illuminated by powerful arc lights. The introduction of electric light revolutionized maritime transportation, allowing boats to navigate the waters even during high tide in the darkness of night. The scene is both haunting and mesmerizing, with the glow of the arc lights casting an ethereal aura over the water as the tug guides its precious cargo safely into port. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life a time when technology was rapidly advancing and transforming how goods were transported across vast distances. The image serves as a reminder of how innovation can enhance safety and efficiency in our daily lives. It also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when ships relied on lighthouses and tugs to navigate treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when electric light was still a marvel and boats braved the seas under its guiding glow. Truly, this engraving is not just a work of art but also a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in overcoming challenges on the open sea.
