EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a collection of historic steamships from the P&O, Cunard, Orient, Union and Guion Lines dating back to 1885. Engravings of iconic vessels such as the Lusitania, Khiva, Mexican, Australia, Arizona, Zambesi, Poonah, Nepaul, Ganges, Geelong, Rosetta, Umbria and Etruria are displayed in meticulous detail from left to right and top to bottom.
These ships were part of a larger fleet of 150 merchant vessels that could have been taken over by the British Government as Armed Cruisers in case of a potential conflict with Russia. Each ship represented not only a mode of transportation but also an important strategic asset during times of war.
The historical significance captured in this image is palpable - it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between commerce and national security. The intricate engravings bring to life an era where these majestic vessels played a crucial role in shaping global events.
As we gaze upon these timeless representations of maritime history, we are transported back to a time when these ships ruled the seas with grace and power. This print is not just a visual feast for the eyes but also a poignant reminder of our shared past and the importance of preserving our maritime heritage for future generations.
