EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the past, the torchlight launch of the iron-screw steamer Azoff unfolds on the banks of the River Clyde in Scotland, in the year 1855. The scene is set against the backdrop of a starry night, with the orange glow of the torches illuminating the water and casting long, dancing shadows on the shore. The iron-screw steamer Azoff, a marvel of engineering innovation, is poised to embark on its maiden voyage, its sleek, dark hull reflecting the shimmering light of the torches. The launching ceremony is a spectacle to behold, with a large crowd gathered on the shore, eagerly anticipating the moment when the ship would be set free from its moorings. Men in top hats and formal attire, as well as women in elegant gowns and bonnets, stand together, their faces lit up by the warm glow of the torches. The excitement is palpable as the countdown begins, and the tension in the air is electric. The iron-screw steamer Azoff was a significant development in the world of shipping, as it was one of the first vessels of its kind to be powered by both a steam engine and a screw propeller. This combination allowed for greater speed and efficiency, revolutionizing the way goods and people were transported across bodies of water. The launch of this groundbreaking ship marked a new era in maritime history, and the torchlight ceremony was a fitting tribute to this engineering triumph. As the moment of truth arrives, a deafening cheer erupts from the crowd as the ship is slowly and majestically launched into the water. The torches are extinguished, leaving the night sky once again filled with stars, but the memory of this extraordinary event remains etched in the minds of those who witnessed it. The iron-screw steamer Azoff sails off into the night, leaving behind a trail of ripples on the water and a sense of wonder and excitement in its wake.
