EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cunard liner Campania gracefully rests at the bustling landing stage in Liverpool, as captured by Charles Wilkinson in this stunning 19th-century photograph. This print from a private collection showcases the grandeur and elegance of one of Britain's most iconic ocean liners. Built by Fairfield Shipbuilding in Govan, Scotland, and launched on September 8,1892, RMS Campania was a true marvel of engineering. As a twin-screw steamship owned by the esteemed Cunard Steamship Line Shipping Co. , it boasted incredible speed and luxury for its time. In this image, we witness the Campania amidst a hive of activity at Liverpool's harbor. The ship stands tall against the backdrop of sea and sky, exuding power and majesty. Its sleek design is accentuated by intricate details that speak to its opulence. The Campania holds historical significance as well; it achieved fame for completing the fastest Atlantic crossing in 1893 alongside its sister ship RMS Lucania. However, tragedy struck when it met its demise in 1918 after being sunk during World War I. This print not only captures an extraordinary moment but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with maritime exploration.
