EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image of The Ghost of Admiral Hosier captures the eerie scene of a ship surrounded by spectral figures in shrouds, set against the backdrop of a port's fortifications. This print by Charles Mosley from the 18th century is based on a ballad written in 1740 by Richard Glover, commemorating Admiral Francis Hosier's ill-fated attempt to block the Port of Portobelo in Panama.
The tragic story unfolds as Admiral Hosier and his men succumb to yellow fever, with 3000 lives lost in their valiant effort against the Spanish forces. The ghostly apparitions serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made in battle and evoke a sense of national pride and patriotism.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time of colonial conflicts and naval warfare. The details captured by Mosley bring to life the drama and tension of that fateful moment, immortalizing Admiral Hosier's legacy through art.
This print serves as both a visual representation and an emotional tribute to those who fought bravely for their country. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of courage and sacrifice that echoes through history.
