This evocative photograph captures the South-Eastern and Chatham Railway Company's turbine steamer Onward during its inaugural voyage between Folkestone, England, and Boulogne, France, on the 17th of July 1905. The Onward was a groundbreaking addition to the railway's fleet, marking a significant step forward in maritime and railway technology. The Turbine Steamer Onward was the first ship of its kind to be used for a regular passenger service across the English Channel. Its innovative turbine engines, which utilized the exhaust gases from the engine to create thrust, allowed for greater speed and efficiency compared to the traditional paddle steamers. The Onward could reach speeds of up to 18 knots, reducing the travel time between Folkestone and Boulogne to just over two hours. The inauguration of the Onward's service was a grand affair, with dignitaries, officials, and local residents gathered to witness the historic moment. The photograph shows the Onward proudly displaying the South-Eastern and Chatham Railway Company's logo on its hull as it prepares to depart from Folkestone Harbour. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the Onward ushered in a new era of travel between England and France. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of maritime and railway transportation. It serves as a reminder of the technological advancements that shaped the way we travel and connect with other countries, and the role that the South-Eastern and Chatham Railway Company played in shaping that history.
