ON THE COVER:
As ships began to transition from sail to steam, the ocean could be a very deadly place and this fact is well-illustrated in the 1889 oil painting And Every Soul Was Saved by artist Thomas M.M. Hemy showing passengers from the sinking SS Danmark (on the horizon) being brought to SS Missouri by that ship’s lifeboats. Captain Hamilton Murrell devised an ingenious method of using coal buckets to raise the infants out of the lifeboats and into the safety of his ship. Over 700 were rescued in one of the most dramatic incidents of sailing the Atlantic.
