EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of the first Atlantic twin-screw steamers, a groundbreaking invention in maritime transportation. Published around 1920 in The Book of Ships, this illustration takes us back to a time when steam-powered vessels were revolutionizing the way we traveled across oceans. The twin-screw steamer featured in this image is propelled by two screw propellers, positioned on either side of the plane of the keel. This innovative design allowed for enhanced maneuverability and increased speed compared to traditional sailing ships. As we delve into history through this archival piece, we are reminded of the immense power and ingenuity behind steam propulsion. This vessel represents a pivotal moment in transportation, marking a shift from sail-powered craft to steam-powered ones. With its elegant lines and sturdy construction, this old steamer stands as a testament to human progress and our relentless pursuit of innovation. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans sought ways to conquer vast bodies of water with ever-improving technology. Whether used for exploration or trade purposes, these early twin-screw steamers played an integral role in shaping our world's interconnectedness. As we admire this historical gem captured within the pages of The Book of Ships, let us appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern maritime travel.
