The collection consists of the following original illustrations:

Thera – 1627 B.C.
Essex – 1820 A.D.
Titanic – 1912 A.D.
Bermuda – 1945 A.D.

#1 - THERA - 1627 B.C.

"The Minoan eruption of Thera was a vast and catastrophic volcanic eruption (VEI = 6 or 7, DRE = 60 km3) which is estimated to have occurred in the middle of the second millennium BC. The eruption was one of the largest volcanic events on Earth, historically documented. The eruption devastated the island of Thera (or Santorini), "

In 1627 AD Thera was destroyed in the time span that divides sunset from sunrise. What if it wasn't an eruption?

Here is our alternative version, of what many think is the birth of the myth of Atlantis.

#2 - ESSEX - 1820 A.D.

"Essex was a whaler who in 1820 became involved in a story that seems to have inspired, at least in the first part, Herman Melville for his famous novel Moby Dick"

In 1820 the Essex whaler sank in the Pacific ocean. The survivors will tell of a whale, completely white, architect of their disaster.

Deus Ex Machina. Appearances are deceiving, the sea too.

#3 - TITANIC - 1912 A.D.

"The RMS Titanic was a British transatlantic liner of the Olympic class, which became famous for colliding with an iceberg on the night between 14 and 15 April 1912 and the consequent dramatic shipwreck that occurred in the early hours of 15 April 1912"

The ship called "the unsinkable" that sank for an iceberg ... It didn't seem like a PULP ending enough.

Here is our vision of how the events unfolded on that night of April 14, 1912.

#4 - BERMUDA - 1945 A.D.

"The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the North Atlantic Ocean that has the shape of a triangle.
In relation to this vast sea area of approximately 1 100 000 km², since the 1950s, mass culture led to the belief that numerous episodes of ship and aircraft disappearances occurred from 1800 onwards. so some authors have nicknamed the area "Cursed Triangle" or "Triangle of the Devil". "

On December 5, 1945, five Grumman TBF Avenger bombers from the United States Navy disappeared two hours after take-off ... They were never found.

Our ending finds its answer in the name of Umibōzu, a yōkai, spirit of Japanese folklore. He is said to live in the ocean and capsize the ships of anyone who dares to speak to him. [in some cases low-altitude aircraft] Grumman TBF Avenger of the United States Navy, disappeared two hours after take-off ... They were never found.
