EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to May 1856, capturing the grandeur of "The Leviathan" steam ship. The behemoth vessel dominates the scene, its imposing presence leaving onlookers in awe. Docked at Millwall with a bustling hive of activity around it, this print offers a glimpse into the world of maritime industry during the 19th century. A symphony of workmen can be seen scurrying about, their diligent efforts ensuring that every aspect is meticulously attended to. Paddle wheels churn through the water as if propelling this engineering marvel forward even while docked. The Great Eastern's sheer size is emphasized by its proximity to other ships and structures; it seems almost too large for its surroundings. The pier stretches out towards the ship like an eager arm ready to embrace it once again upon departure. Pontoons line up along the harbour wall, patiently awaiting their turn to assist in mooring or unmooring this nautical giant. Beyond them lies a bay of tranquil waters, contrasting with the flurry of activity taking place onshore. This remarkable engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. It reminds us that progress often comes hand in hand with hard work and dedication – qualities embodied by both those who built "The Leviathan" and those who continue to preserve its legacy today.
