The London Bridge Steam Wharf, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The London Bridge Steam Wharf, 1844. Steamships on the River Thames: The spirited scene represented in the engraving - the Steam Packet Wharf at London-bridge - may be regarded as the main focus of this extensive means of transit. The number of arrivals and departures at this spot during the day, is truly astonishing; and at the present high steam season, is a constant source of attraction. The vessels are of all degrees of tonnage; and from thence and the adjoining Fresh Wharf, and Cox and Hammonds Quays, steamers start for Greenwich, Woolwich, Sheerness, Gravesend, Herne Bay, Margate, Deal and Dover, Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, and other places. Although the width of the river is here nearly 700 feet, the constant arrivals and departures occupy a considerable portion of this extent. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

With its bustling activity and spirited atmosphere, this engraving showcases the extensive means of transit that defined this era. The steamships on the River Thames take center stage, showcasing a mesmerizing array of vessels of varying tonnage. The sheer number of arrivals and departures at this spot during the day is truly astonishing, making it a constant source of attraction for locals and visitors alike. From here, steamers set off to various destinations including Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, Margate, Dover, Calais, Boulogne, Ostend and more. Despite the river's width being nearly 700 feet at this point, the constant comings and goings occupy a significant portion of its expanse. As we delve into this snapshot from history through "Illustrated London News" from 1844 Vol I. , we are transported back to an era where steamboats ruled the waters and smoke billowed from their chimneys. This black-and-white image evokes nostalgia for a time when transportation by water was not only practical but also awe-inspiring.
