1. Title: A Glance Inside Steamship Cedric in 1903: A Cross-Section Revealing Its Contents Steamship Cedric, launched in 1902, was a magnificent ocean liner of the early 1900s, renowned for its luxurious amenities and advanced engineering. This cross-section image, taken in 1903, offers a unique glimpse into the heart of this steamship, revealing the intricate organization of its various compartments and the diverse range of items it carried. At the core of the Steamship Cedric lies its powerful steam engine, surrounded by vast coal storage areas. Coal was the primary fuel source for steamships during this era, and the sheer quantity required for long voyages necessitated extensive storage spaces. The engine room, a hive of activity, was manned by skilled engineers who maintained the ship's machinery, ensuring the smooth operation of the vessel. Moving forward, the image reveals a labyrinth of cargo holds, designed to accommodate a wide range of goods. Bulk cargo, such as coal, iron, and other raw materials, was typically stored in the lower holds, while more delicate items, like glass and porcelain, were placed in the upper holds to protect them from the rough seas. The cross-section also reveals the ship's impressive dining, saloon, and kitchen facilities. Passengers could indulge in sumptuous meals prepared by skilled chefs using the latest culinary equipment. The mail room, another essential component, was responsible for the safe transportation of letters and parcels, connecting people across continents. Luggage, both passengers' and crew members', was stored in designated areas, while provisions for the ship's cold meat and food supplies were kept in insulated compartments to maintain freshness during lengthy voyages. This intriguing cross-section image offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a steamship from the early 1900s, showcasing the complex organization required to transport passengers and cargo across the sea.
