Image description

The "Roddam" at St Pierre. In May 1902, when the harbour of St Pierre, Martinique, was crowded with shipping, the volcano Mont Pelee broke into terrible eruption. The stream of lava overwhelmed the town and flowed into the sea, lashing it into a fury of seething, steam-capped waves. Glowing volcanic dust swept across town and harbour, setting fire to everything which would burn. Only the British steamer Roddam, in the outer roads, managed to fight her way to safety, a charred wreck, with 26 dead and nearly all the survivors terribly injured. Illustration for one of a set of 50 cigarette cards on the subject of Sea Adventure, issued by Hignett Brothers in 1939.
