EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the SS Carmania, an engineering marvel of the early 20th century, built by the esteemed John Brown Shipyard of Clydebank in 1905. With a gross tonnage of 20,000, the Carmania was reputed to be the first very large turbine steamer, breaking new ground in maritime technology. During her sea trials in November 1905, she astoundingly achieved a steady speed of nineteen and a half knots, a significant feat for the time. The Carmania's sleek design and advanced turbine engine set a new standard for ocean liners, paving the way for faster and more efficient vessels. This historical image, taken from the ILN (Illustrated London News), is a testament to the groundbreaking innovation and progress in shipbuilding during the early 1900s. The SS Carmania's impressive speed of nineteen and a half knots was achieved in December 1905, making it an important milestone in maritime history.
