EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coming of the Motor Liner: A Revolution in Maritime Transport (1912) This image, titled "The Coming of the Motor Liner: The First Big Funneless Passenger Boat Built in the British Isles," showcases the groundbreaking motor liner, a pioneering vessel that marked a significant shift in maritime transportation. The motor liner, with its sleek design and innovative engineering, forged ahead of its time, leaving behind the traditional steam-powered ships with their towering funnels. In this sphere cross-section view, we witness the intricacies of the motor liner's design. The absence of funnels is a testament to the new era of cleaner, more efficient propulsion. Instead, the engines, located beneath the waterline, are powered by oil, housed in large tanks. The crew, a group of determined men, work diligently to ensure the smooth operation of the engines and the vessel as a whole. The motor liner's size is evident in this depiction, as it dwarfs the smaller boats and ships in the background. Its large size, however, did not come at the cost of speed or maneuverability. With no steam to produce or funnels to maintain, the motor liner was able to offer a more enjoyable and efficient travel experience for passengers. This photograph, taken in 1912, represents a pivotal moment in maritime history. The motor liner's arrival signaled the beginning of a new era in transportation, one that would forever change the way we travel across the sea.
