EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Balkal, a historic British-built steamship designed for navigating the icy waters of Lake Baikal in Russia during the early 20th century. The Balkal, also known as the Cig Card, was an engineering marvel of its time, with a hull specifically engineered to withstand the frequent ice impediments that hindered navigation on the lake. Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world by volume, is located in southern Siberia and is known for its extreme climate, with heavy ice cover during the winter months. The Balkal was commissioned to provide essential transportation services during these challenging conditions, making it an invaluable asset to the region. The steamship's hull, depicted in this photograph, is a testament to the ingenuity of its designers and builders. The thick, reinforced walls and unique shape were designed to protect the vessel from the crushing weight of the ice, allowing it to safely traverse the lake even during the harshest winters. The Balkal's historical significance lies in its role as a vital transportation link during a time when travel across the lake was otherwise severely limited by the ice. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when steamships like the Balkal played a crucial role in connecting communities and facilitating trade and communication in the face of formidable natural challenges. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating window into the history of steamship transportation on Lake Baikal and the engineering innovations that made it possible.
