EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1872 engraving from the Liszt Collection showcases a proposed channel ferry, providing us with a glimpse into the ambitious transportation plans of that era. The image depicts a longitudinal section of the ferry steamer, highlighting its impressive dimensions and innovative design. The proposed channel ferry is envisioned to be an extraordinary vessel measuring 450 feet in length and boasting a beam width of 57 feet. With paddle boxes towering at an impressive height of 95 feet, this passenger ship exudes grandeur and power. Disconnected engines with a remarkable nominal horsepower of 1400 are set to propel this magnificent steamship, enabling it to achieve unprecedented speeds. According to the caption accompanying the print, this technological marvel aims to complete the voyage from shore to shore in just one hour. Furthermore, due to its carefully considered form and size, passengers can expect smooth sailing even in adverse weather conditions as motion would be nearly imperceptible. This vintage engraving not only offers insight into historical advancements in maritime transportation but also serves as a testament to Victorian arts and culture. Its retro-styled aesthetic adds charm while showcasing illustrative techniques prevalent during that period. As we admire this engraved image today, we can appreciate both the ingenuity behind such proposals and how far our modern-day ferries have come since then.
