A New Era in Maritime Transport: The Launch of the Double-Screw Steamship Far East (1863) This photograph depicts the momentous launch of the double-screw steamship, Far East, at Cubitt Town, Millwall, in London, England, in 1863. The event attracted a large crowd of onlookers, as the ship was destined for the prestigious China tea trade. With its innovative design and advanced technology, the launch of this vessel was a significant milestone in maritime history. The Far East was the first iron-hulled vessel to employ the double or twin screw system, which offered increased efficiency and maneuverability compared to traditional paddle-wheel steamships. This technological advancement was essential for navigating the complex waterways of China and other far-off ports, making the Far East an ideal choice for the lucrative tea trade. The China tea trade was a crucial component of the global economy during the 19th century, and the success of British trading ventures in this sector played a significant role in the country's industrial growth. The Far East's advanced design and capabilities would have ensured its place as a valuable asset in this expanding commercial enterprise. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the British maritime industry during the 1860s. The Far East's launch marked the beginning of a new era in steamship transportation, paving the way for further advancements in ship design and technology that would shape the world's maritime landscape for generations to come.
