1. Title: A Glance into the Maritime Past: Steam Yacht "Caledonia" - Midship Section, London (1817) 2.. This image offers a glimpse into the maritime history of the early 19th century, showcasing the midship section of the steam yacht "Caledonia," which graced the waters of London in 1817. The steam yacht revolutionized the boating world, marking a significant departure from the traditional sailing vessels of the time. The "Caledonia" was an engineering marvel of its era, designed by the renowned Scottish inventor James Watt and built under the supervision of Matthew Boulton at the Soho Foundry in Birmingham. Watt, best known for his improvements to the Newcomen steam engine, was determined to apply steam power to boats, aiming to create a vessel that could travel against the wind and current. The steam yacht "Caledonia" was the first successful implementation of Watt's design, featuring a horizontal steam engine that powered a paddle wheel at the stern. The midship section in this photograph reveals the intricate details of the steam engine's installation, as well as the elegant interior accommodations for passengers. The vessel's sleek lines and innovative design made it a sensation in London society, attracting the attention of the elite and royalty alike. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, serves as a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the past, providing a fascinating window into the world of early steam-powered yachts and the pivotal role they played in maritime history.
