The Shipwreck of the Bokhara - A Tale of Resilience and Sportsmanship
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts a remarkable moment in history - the shipwreck of the Bokhara and the unity displayed by two cricket teams amidst adversity. The Hong-Kong and Shanghai Cricket Teams find themselves stranded on a desolate island after their vessel succumbs to a treacherous storm. In this powerful image, we witness the survivors gathering together, undeterred by their dire circumstances. Led by Lieutenant Markham and Captain Dawson, these brave individuals demonstrate unwavering determination as they organize themselves into makeshift teams for an impromptu game of cricket. Despite being marooned on unfamiliar terrain, they refuse to let despair consume them. The camaraderie among these cricketers is palpable; their shared love for sport transcends language barriers and cultural differences. Major Turner, Sergeant Jeffkins, Sergeant Donegan, T Wallace, G E Taverner - all come together with one common goal: to find solace in each other's company through this beloved pastime. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection today, we are reminded not only of the resilience exhibited during times of crisis but also of how sports can unite people across borders. This engraving serves as a testament to human spirit triumphing over adversity while showcasing that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is always room for
