A Voyage to Melbourne in a Sailing Ship
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of an extraordinary maritime adventure. This engraving, created by John Charles Dollman and now part of a private collection, takes us back to September 1881 when it was first published in The Graphic. The image depicts a bustling scene aboard the sailing ship as it embarks on its journey from Gravesend to Melbourne. Passengers from all walks of life can be seen engaging in various activities: some play quoits on deck, while others enjoy their morning bath or indulge in drinks. Amidst the excitement, there are hints of trepidation as visitors catch sight of a lurking shark and some unfortunate souls succumb to seasickness. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect of life at sea is captured with precision. From sailors reefing sails and signalling commands from the wheelhouse to passengers caught up in animated conversations within their cabins - this engraving truly brings this historic voyage alive. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves joining these brave adventurers on their long and perilous journey across vast oceans. We marvel at their resilience and courage as they navigate through icy waters and encounter majestic icebergs along the way. This artwork not only serves as a visual record but also evokes our curiosity about Australia's rich maritime history. It reminds us that exploration has always been an integral part of human nature - pushing boundaries, discovering new lands, and forging connections between distant shores.
