| Opis rewersu |
Designed by Canadian artist John Horton, your coinuses selective paint to recreate the imminent collision of RMS Empress of Ireland and the Norwegian collier Storstad during the early morning hours of May 29, 1914. Rolling in from the coast (engraved in the background), the thick fog comes between the two ships in thecolored centre portion of the image field. The shadowy image of the Storstad emerges from the right side of the image, its sharp bow in line to make contact with the Empress`s starboard side. The passenger ship`s stern and funnels are partially unobstructed by the fog in this image to provide a glimpse of theliner before tragedy would send it to its final resting place on the bottom of the St. Lawrence River. |
