EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Mail Turbine Steamer Viper, an engineering marvel built in 1906 by the esteemed Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company. The Viper was commissioned for the Ardrossan-Belfast daylight service, operated by Messrs. G. and J. Burns of Glasgow. With a sleek design and advanced technology for the time, the Viper was a significant addition to the maritime landscape. The Viper was a turbine steamer, a type of ship propelled by steam turbines rather than traditional reciprocating engines. This innovation allowed the vessel to achieve an impressive service speed of 22 knots, making it one of the fastest ships of its kind. The vessel's speed was crucial for the Ardrossan-Belfast daylight service, which required frequent and reliable crossings between the two ports. The Viper was built with the latest technology and materials available at the time, reflecting the cutting-edge nature of shipbuilding during the early 20th century. The photograph captures the vessel's elegant lines and powerful presence, with its tall funnel and intricate details, such as the ornate railings and deck fittings. The Viper's historical significance lies not only in its technological advancements but also in its role as a symbol of the thriving maritime industry in Glasgow and Scotland during this period. The city was a hub of shipbuilding and engineering, with companies like Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. at the forefront of innovation and design. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Glasgow and Scotland, as well as the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the shipbuilders and engineers who brought the Royal Mail Turbine Steamer Viper to life.
