EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the launching of the steamship Persia at the Robert Napier & Sons shipyard in Govan, Glasgow, on 3 July 1855. At the time of her launch, Persia was the largest steamship afloat in the world, measuring an impressive 322 feet in length and 42 feet in breadth. The ship's impressive dimensions were a testament to the advanced shipbuilding techniques and engineering prowess of the Napier & Sons shipyard. The Persia was a groundbreaking vessel, not only for her size but also for her innovative design. She was equipped with a powerful steam engine that could propel the ship at a remarkable speed of 15 knots, making her a significant advancement in maritime transportation. The launching ceremony was an event of great significance, attracting a large crowd of onlookers who gathered to witness the spectacle. In the photograph, we see the Persia being gently eased into the water, with the help of a large crowd of workers and a specially designed launching cradle. The ship's elegant lines and sleek design are on full display as she takes her first steps into the water. The Persia went on to win the prestigious Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing in 1856, further cementing her place in maritime history. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the technological innovations and engineering feats of the Victorian era.
