EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Steam-Boat Knickerbocker, an impressive steam-powered vessel that graced the waters of the mid-19th century. Measuring an impressive length of 320 feet and boasting a beam of 32 feet 6 inches, this steamship was a marvel of engineering innovation. With a hold depth of 10 feet 6 inches and a width of 64 feet, including guards, the Steam-Boat Knickerbocker was truly a sight to behold. Propelled by a beam engine, the heart of this steamship, the cylinder of which boasted a diameter of 5 feet 5 inches and a stroke length of 10 feet, this vessel harnessed the power of steam to transport people and cargo across vast bodies of water. The Steam-Boat Knickerbocker represented the pinnacle of maritime technology during its time, offering a faster and more efficient means of transportation compared to traditional sailing ships. The intricate details of the ship's design are evident in this photograph, from the ornate decorations adorning the deck to the towering smokestacks that belched plumes of steam into the air. The Steam-Boat Knickerbocker was more than just a means of transportation; it was a symbol of progress and human ingenuity. This photograph, taken around 1844, captures a moment in history when steamships began to revolutionize the way people and goods were transported across water. The Steam-Boat Knickerbocker paved the way for a new era of maritime transportation, leaving a lasting impact on the world.
