Longtudinal sections of two steam turbines
Longtudinal sections of two steam turbines. 1: Parsons marine turbine; 2: Rateaus marine turbine. Anglo-Irish engineer Sir Charles Parsons (1854-1931) first applied the steam turbine to a marine engine in his Turbina of 1894. The invention revolutionised marine transport, making vessels capable of much higher speeds than had previously been possible

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the longitudinal sections of two steam turbines, each representing a significant milestone in marine engineering. The first turbine, known as the Parsons marine turbine, was ingeniously developed by Anglo-Irish engineer Sir Charles Parsons in 1894. This groundbreaking invention revolutionized marine transport by enabling vessels to achieve unprecedented speeds that were previously unimaginable. The second turbine featured in this print is the Rateaus marine turbine, another remarkable creation within the field of propulsion technology. Together, these two turbines symbolize the concept of innovation and highlight the immense impact they had on shipbuilding and transportation. With its monochromatic aesthetic, this engraving captures not only the intricate details of these powerful machines but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when steam power ruled over water transport. The image transports us back to a time when engineers like Sir Charles Parsons pushed boundaries and transformed maritime travel forever. As we admire this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of how science and invention have shaped our world throughout history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even seemingly small advancements can lead to monumental changes in society.
