EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the Falkland Islands in 1970, offers a unique perspective on the iconic SS Great Britain. The image captures a view from the main mast, providing an awe-inspiring sight of both the ship's bows and midships deck. As one gazes down upon this historic vessel, it becomes apparent that time has not been kind to her original decking, as visible damage serves as a testament to her storied past. The photographer skillfully frames the shot to include not only the damaged decking but also offers a glimpse of the fore mast. This inclusion adds depth and context to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate more fully the intricate design of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's masterpiece. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this maritime marvel is a distant shoreline visible in the background. It serves as a reminder that even grand ships like these are ultimately at nature's mercy when they venture beyond their home ports. This remarkable print transports us back in time and invites contemplation about both human ingenuity and our relationship with powerful forces such as nature. It commemorates an important moment during salvage work conducted on SS Great Britain before she was brought back home to Bristol where she now stands proudly as a museum ship – an enduring symbol of innovation and engineering brilliance from another era.
