CA EDM RG-200-12-2 · Item · 1892 October 29
Part of City of Edmonton Archives Collection

This work was painted by John McCullson. While nothing is currently known about the artist, the work depicts the salvage effort of the Gerona of Dundee, Scotland. The ship was stranded October 27, 1892 within 30 yards of land at Skisa Head, Caithness, Scotland. It was bound for Montreal with 1,100 tons of general cargo, a crew of 36 and 12 passengers. It is believed that this painting reflects the experience of some Western Europeans who emigrated to Edmonton at the turn of the twentieth century, and it may have an as-yet-undiscovered connection with other records in the collection at the City of Edmonton Archives
