1817 Boulton Caledonia Watt Yacht Yachts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the longitudinal section, plan view, and profile of the historic steam yacht Caledonia, designed in 1817. The Caledonia, an engineering marvel of its time, was a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of yachting. Designed by the renowned Scottish inventor James Watt and constructed by the Boulton & Watt company, this steam-powered vessel represented a significant departure from traditional sailing boats. The longitudinal section illustrates the Caledonia's internal layout, revealing the ingenious arrangement of its steam engine, boilers, and living quarters. The engine, located in the central portion of the vessel, powered a paddle wheel at the stern, propelling the yacht through the water with remarkable speed and efficiency. The plan view offers a bird's-eye perspective of the Caledonia's deck layout, revealing the placement of cabins, salon, and other amenities for the comfort of its passengers. The profile view showcases the Caledonia's sleek and elegant design, with its distinctive vertical boilers and paddle wheel. The Caledonia was a testament to the ingenuity and vision of its creators, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the engineering and design principles that shaped this pioneering steam yacht. With its innovative steam power and luxurious accommodations, the Caledonia set a new standard for private yachting and paved the way for the development of larger and more sophisticated steamships in the decades to come.
