EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the revolutionary steamship Turbinia, the world's first vessel propelled by a steam turbine engine, as it cuts through the water with impressive speed and agility. Built as an experimental vessel in 1894 by Sir Charles Parsons and his team, Turbinia was a groundbreaking innovation in marine transportation. At the time, it was the fastest ship in the world, capable of reaching an astonishing 35 knots (approximately 65 kilometers per hour). The photograph, taken circa 1898, depicts Turbinia in its prime, with its distinctive torpedo-shaped hull and elegant lines. The ship's innovative steam turbine engine, which replaced traditional reciprocating engines, was a game-changer in the maritime industry. The turbine's continuous rotation allowed for smoother operation and greater efficiency, paving the way for the future of steamships. Turbinia made its debut at the Spithead Navy Review in 1897, where it left spectators in awe with its impressive speed and maneuverability. Today, this historic vessel is preserved and on display at the Discovery Museum in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of marine transportation and engineering innovation.
