"Day After The Eruption" portrait by Michel Guyot.
(The day after the eruption of Mount Pelée (May 9, 1902,) the french cruiser Suchet arrives at the scene of the disaster; the canadian steamer Roraima is on fire, a mortal silence reigns on the bay of Saint-Pierre, there is no one left to save. The disaster claimed 30,000 lives, it is the deadliest volcanic eruption in human history. -Michael Guyot) (MaritimeQuest Daily Event May 8, 2005)
