About this work

A black and white lithograph shows the paddle steamer Henry Clay engulfed in flames and billowing smoke, with passengers leaping into the churning water and others crowding the decks. In the foreground, figures swim, cling to one another, or sink beneath the waves, while onlookers gather on the shore at right. The print is published by Currier & Ives and records the disaster of July 28, 1852, on the trip from Albany to New York near Yonkers.
