EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blast from the Past: The Majestic Plus Ultra Steamer in the Canary Islands Step back in time with this image of the Plus Ultra steamer, proudly serving the Canary Islands during the 20th century. The steamer, adorned with vibrant bunting and national flags, cuts through the tranquil Mediterranean waters with an air of elegance and grace. Steamers like the Plus Ultra played a crucial role in connecting the Canary Islands to the rest of the world. These floating vessels were the primary means of transportation for both passengers and essential supplies, bridging the gap between the islands and the European mainland. The Plus Ultra steamer, with its imposing size and powerful steam engines, embodied the spirit of adventure and discovery. The sight of this magnificent ship sailing into port was a welcome spectacle for the local communities, who eagerly awaited the arrival of the mail, news, and visitors from afar. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the hiss of the steam, feel the gentle rocking of the boat, and smell the salty sea air. The Plus Ultra steamer stands as a testament to a bygone era, a time when travel by sea was an adventure in and of itself. This evocative photograph not only captures the historical significance of the Plus Ultra steamer but also the enduring allure of the Canary Islands, with their stunning volcanic landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and rich cultural heritage. So sit back, relax, and let your imagination transport you to a time when the world seemed a little bit smaller, yet infinitely more connected.
