EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the stern view of the Great Eastern under construction at Millwall on the Thames in 1857. The Great Eastern, a historic steam ship, was a true engineering marvel of its time. Designed by the visionary Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this iron-hulled vessel was intended to be the largest ship ever built. The image shows the ship in the advanced stages of construction, with workers diligently toiling away on the stern section. The intricate details of the ship's structure are on full display, from the massive propeller at the back to the ornate decorative elements along the hull. The ship's imposing size is evident, dwarfing the workers and the surrounding buildings. The Great Eastern was a groundbreaking transport vessel, designed to revolutionize ocean travel. With a length of over 320 meters and a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, it was a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the Victorian era. Unfortunately, the ship's maiden voyage was marred by disaster, as it sank during its first trial run. However, the Great Eastern was later refitted and went on to have a successful career as a cargo and passenger ship. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of maritime construction during the 19th century. The intricacies of the ship's design, the industrious workers, and the iconic Thames river setting make this image a must-have for any history or maritime enthusiast's collection.
