Framed Print of The Fatal Disaster with a Balloon: plan showing the course of the balloon, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The Fatal Disaster with a Balloon: plan showing the course of the balloon, 1881. The fate of Mr. Walter Powell, who, with another gentleman, accompanied Captain James Templer, in charge of a balloon lent by the War Department to the Meteorological Society, on Saturday, the 10th December, is a matter of sincere regret... Mr. Powell, in the balloon, was separated from his comrades and became a helpless plaything of the elements, [and was] almost inevitably doomed to destruction...Great anxiety was felt during the first four or five days of last week, though hopes were then still entertained that the balloon, in which he was accidently carried off alone from the Dorsetshire seacoast, might either have descended in France, or have been picked up in the Channel, or in the Bay of Biscay, by some outward-bound ship... The balloon, named the Saladin, which has unhappily become instrumental in depriving Mr. Powell of his life, was constructed at Woolwich Arsenal about three years since, and was the largest the War Department has possessed, its cubical contents being 38, 000 ft. The height of the inflated bag, when full of gas and erect, was 60 ft. or 70 ft. It was made of oiled calico...[Illustration shows the] topographical situation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
