Our Special Artist
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the daring and dangerous journey aboard The Lilian, a blockade-running steamer entering Wilmington Harbour in 1864 during the American Civil War. The scene is filled with tension as the ship navigates past Federal cruisers, risking capture or destruction to deliver much-needed supplies to Confederate forces.
The artist's detailed sketch provides a glimpse into the life of civilians and sailors on board, their faces etched with determination and anticipation. The deck is bustling with activity as men peer through binoculars, steer the ship's wheel, and watch for any signs of danger.
This historic moment immortalized by an unknown creator for the "Illustrated London News" showcases the bravery and resilience of those involved in blockade running during this tumultuous time. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who risked everything to support their cause.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when every voyage was fraught with peril and every arrival brought hope. "Our Special Artist" has captured not just a scene on board The Lilian but also a snapshot of courage in the face of adversity.
