Paddle Rover Steamer Sunderland Tees
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a paddle steamer gracefully navigating the River Tees in Sunderland during the late Victorian era. The 19th century was a period of significant industrial growth in the region, and the River Tees was a bustling hub of maritime activity. This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of elegance and romance. The paddle steamer, with its tall smokestacks billowing white plumes against the blue sky, cuts through the tranquil waters of the River Tees. The intricate details of the ship's ornate ironwork and the delicate curves of its hull are beautifully captured in this black and white image. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees and rolling hills, adding to the serene and picturesque setting. This photograph is a testament to the charm and allure of the early Rover period, a time when travel by water was a luxurious and exciting experience. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, was marked by a sense of optimism and adventure, and this image encapsulates the spirit of that time. The lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, would have projected this image onto a screen for audiences to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and nostalgic appeal, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
