Destruction by Fire of the Amazon Mail Steamer. of 2250 Tons burden, in the Bay of Biscay, Jan.y 4th 1852, on Her first voyage from Southampton to Chagres, with 50 Passsengers and 106 Crew and attendants, the greater number of whom were lost.
Engraved from a sketch made by one of the Survivors.
Read & Co., 10, Johnson's Court, Fleet St. London [n.d., c.1852].
Rare steel engraving with hand colour. 265 x 330mm (10½ x 13"). Trimmed close to plate, slight scuffing in inscription area.
RMS Amazon was a wooden barque with three masts and a paddle wheel, launched in 1851. On her maiden voyage the bearings on her two side-lever steam engines kept overheating, which possibly led to a fire in the hay bales kept for animal feed. The order to abandon ship was given, but heavy seas swamped most of the boats launched. The brig 'Marsden', seen in the background, rescued 21 people from a lifeboat, at one stage believed to be the only survivors but, over the course of the next few days, two other boats were recovered. It is estimated that over two-thirds of the passengers and crew died. At the time the Admiralty supervised UK merchant ships contracted to carry mail, demanding that they all have wooden hulls. After the Amazon disaster this order was rescinded, so iron hulls became the norm.
