EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the launch of the "Glasgow". Screw Steam-Ship at the Mouth of the Kelvin. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as onlookers gather to witness this remarkable event. The ship, a magnificent feat of engineering, stands tall against a backdrop of industrial Glasgow. Its sleek design and powerful steam engine symbolize progress and innovation in maritime technology during the 19th century. The artist skillfully portrays every detail, from the swirling waters beneath the vessel to the billowing smoke rising from its chimneys. The atmosphere is electric, with people lining both sides of the riverbank to catch a glimpse of this groundbreaking achievement. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News in August 1851, showcasing not only an important moment in Scottish history but also highlighting advancements in transportation that were revolutionizing global trade. Today, this print serves as a visual reminder of Scotland's rich maritime heritage and its contributions to technological advancements that shaped our modern world. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since that day when "Glasgow" embarked on her maiden voyage into uncharted waters.
