EDITORS COMMENTS
The SS Kingfisher, a marvel of engineering and elegance, was built in 1906 by Messrs. Denny of Dumbarton for the General Steam Navigation Company. This stunning photograph captures the beauty and power of this turbine steamer, which was reputed to be the first of its kind operating on the Thames. The Kingfisher ran a service between London, Southend, Ramsgate, Dover, and Boulogne (once a week), making it an important part of historical navigation on these waterways.
With its sleek design and efficient steam power, the SS Kingfisher symbolizes a bygone era when passenger steamers ruled the seas. Its presence on the Thames must have been a sight to behold for those lucky enough to witness it in action.
This print is not just a snapshot in time; it is a piece of history that reminds us of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into building such magnificent vessels. The legacy of the SS Kingfisher lives on through images like this one, preserving its place in maritime history for generations to come.
