EDITORS COMMENTS
great photograph capturing the bravery and determination of Matthew Montgomery and Louis Shelvin, the steward and cook of the Emily St. Pierre, during a daring recapture attempt in 1862. The Emily St. Pierre, a merchant vessel, was seized by a prize crew consisting of two officers and thirteen men of the United States Navy. However, Captain Wilson and his brave crew, including Montgomery and Shelvin, did not give up easily. In this stunning image, Montgomery, a native of Dublin, Ireland, and Shelvin, a German from Frankfort-on-Maine, are depicted with unwavering resolve. The circumstances of this daring act, which successfully regained possession of the Emily St. Pierre, are still fresh in the memory of many. Montgomery, a man of small stature and approximately twenty-eight years old, and Shelvin, a twenty-seven-year-old German, are seen here as heroes. Their quick thinking and courageous actions were instrumental in helping Captain Wilson and his crew retake their vessel. As a token of appreciation for their bravery, purses of gold and silver medals were presented to Montgomery and Shelvin, with suitable inscriptions. This photograph serves as a testament to their heroism and the spirit of determination that prevailed during this remarkable event. The image is a reminder that fortune indeed favors the brave.
