EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the Winans Ocean Steamer, an impressive cigar-shaped vessel, launched at Ferry Bay, Baltimore on October 6, 1858. Measuring 180 feet in length and displacing 350 tons when carrying 200 tons of coal, the Winans Ocean Steamer was intended as an ocean-going vessel. However, her career was not a great success. Despite her impressive size, the ship faced numerous challenges. The American Civil War, which began in April 1861, brought significant disruption to the shipping industry and the builders, the Messrs. Winans. The Winans Ocean Steamer, which was not a commercial success even before the war, struggled to find its place in the maritime world. The ship's launch marked a significant moment in maritime history, as it was one of the largest vessels built in Baltimore at the time. However, the Winans Ocean Steamer's intended use as an ocean-going vessel was not realized. The engraving provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the ambitions and challenges of maritime engineering in the late 19th century. The Winans Ocean Steamer was a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of its builders, but the uncertainties of the time and the disruptive impact of the American Civil War ultimately hindered its success. This historical image, from the ILN (Illustrated London News) archives, offers a fascinating insight into the maritime history of the United States during a pivotal period in its history.
