EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the SS City of Exeter, an Ellerman twin-screw liner, setting sail from Britain towards Calcutta in July 1914. The image, taken during the early days of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the history of maritime transportation during a time when the world was on the brink of significant change. The SS City of Exeter was a vital link in the global trade network, carrying essential imports from Britain to India and other parts of the British Empire. The twin-screw propeller technology, which allowed for greater efficiency and speed, was a testament to the advancements in engineering and technology during this era. As the ship cuts through the water, its tall, elegant smokestacks billow out plumes of smoke, leaving a trail behind it. The SS City of Exeter's sleek hull and well-defined lines reflect the sun's rays, adding to the sense of motion and energy. The ship's name, emblazoned proudly on the hull, is a reminder of the human element behind this impressive machine. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with the SS City of Exeter surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean and the open sky. The calm waters and clear skies contrast sharply with the turbulent events that were about to unfold in Europe, as the First World War was just a few short weeks away. This photograph is a reminder of the rich maritime history that connects Britain and India, and the vital role that ships like the SS City of Exeter played in shaping the world we live in today. The image is a testament to the ingenuity, determination, and innovation of the people who built and sailed these magnificent vessels, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of human endeavor.
