EDITORS COMMENTS
The Marine Redowa: A Tribute to the Brave and Whole-Souled Captain Hiram Burt This print, titled "The Marine Redowa," is a poignant tribute to the heroic actions of Captain Hiram Burt, who commanded the brigantine Marine during the infamous sinking of the Central America in 1857. The image, which dates back to approximately the same year, showcases two ships battling against the tempestuous sea, with two lifeboats bravely making their way through the tumultuous waves. The Central America, a passenger ship laden with gold from California, encountered a devastating storm in the Atlantic Ocean, resulting in the loss of numerous lives. Amidst the chaos, Captain Burt, known for his bravery, energy, and whole-souled commitment to saving lives, rallied his crew and set out to rescue the stranded passengers. Despite the treacherous conditions, Captain Burt and the Marine's crew managed to save a large number of lives, making their heroic efforts a beacon of hope amidst the tragedy. This print, therefore, serves as a testament to their unwavering courage and commitment to humanity. The title "The Marine Redowa" is a nod to the Polish word "redowa," which means "brave" or "valiant." This fitting title further emphasizes the extraordinary bravery displayed by Captain Burt and his crew during the rescue mission. This evocative print, with its intricate details and powerful imagery, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sea was a formidable force, and the actions of a few could make all the difference.
