EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the experimental turbine steamer Turbinia, built in 1894 as a testament to the groundbreaking ideas of C.A. Parsons regarding turbine technology. The Turbinia, a remarkable achievement of the late 19th century, gained international recognition when she decimated the speed records at the Fleet Review of 1897. With a top speed of approximately 35 knots, she left her contemporary vessels in the dust, establishing a new era in maritime history. The Turbinia, a pioneering decapod boat, was the first vessel to be propelled solely by steam turbines, as opposed to the traditional reciprocating engines. Parsons' innovative ideas, which included the use of a low-pressure turbine and a high-pressure turbine in a combined system, proved to be a resounding success. The Turbinia's speed of 21 knots in the trials held in December 1894 was already an impressive feat, but her performance during the Fleet Review of 1897, where she reached speeds of roughly 35 knots, left the world in awe. This photograph, taken in 1898, captures the Turbinia in her prime, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of her creators. The Turbinia's impact on maritime technology was significant, paving the way for the widespread adoption of turbines in steamships and eventually leading to the demise of the reciprocating engine. This image, a precious piece of maritime history, serves as a reminder of the relentless pursuit of progress and the transformative power of human innovation.
