"Journeying Through Time: The Adventurous Excursionists" Step back in time to 1856, when the English River Steamer set sail for an unforgettable experience. On Portsea Island in Portsmouth, a grand naval review brought together excursionists on the floating-bridge, creating a spectacle that would be remembered for years to come. Fast forward to 1888 and an advertisement in Aldens Oxford Guide showcases the allure of excursions through an enchanting engraving. A trip to the Nore in a Cycle-Boat captivates with its vibrant colors and promises of thrilling adventures. In Scotland, amidst the Railway Strike, sketches at Glasgow capture snapshots of life during tumultuous times. Engravings reveal odd phases of life in West Virginia's rural regions - black and white photos that tell stories untold. The excitement continues as we delve into lithographs depicting The Coming Contest for the "America" Cup. Thrill-seekers gather eagerly, ready to witness history unfold before their eyes. Returning once again to Portsea's Grand Naval Review, excursionists flock towards scenes on the "Hard, " eager to catch glimpses of majestic fleets sailing by. And what about those who dared venture beneath the waves? An invention that failed tells us tales of a submarine boat lost at sea. Captain Boyton's Second Channel Voyage is immortalized through engravings capturing his daring feat across treacherous waters. Meanwhile, British Excursionists embark on a journey beyond borders as they leave Paris Station via Great Northern Railway - their destination unknown but filled with anticipation. These excursionists from different eras share one common thread - an insatiable thirst for adventure and exploration. They remind us that even though time may pass and technology may change, our innate desire to wander remains constant throughout history.
