EDITORS COMMENTS
The 353 ton Bournemouth Queen, a majestic paddle steamer, takes center stage in this photo print. Captured from the port quarter in 1923 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the intricate details of this historic vessel. Originally built in 1908 as an excursion ship for Bournemouth, the Bournemouth Queen had a remarkable career that spanned two world wars. Despite serving in both conflicts and undergoing extensive reconstruction after World War II, she remained true to her coal-burning roots. In 1951, the beloved steamboat began operating from Southampton, Ryde, and Southsea before ultimately meeting her fate in 1957 when she was scrapped. This photograph not only captures a close-up view of the magnificent Bournemouth Queen but also provides a glimpse into England's rich maritime history. The monochrome tones lend an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the early twentieth century. The workmanship displayed by Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident through their meticulous attention to detail. From every angle, one can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into constructing such a grand vessel. As we admire this piece of transportation history frozen in time on water transport waves under way towards its next adventure; let us remember its significance as it transported countless passengers throughout its illustrious years.
