EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate construction process of the Winans Cigar-Ship, one of several innovative steam-powered vessels designed by American engineer Ross Winans. The image, taken at Blackwall on the Thames in 1865, showcases the unique design of this historical steam ship. Unlike traditional ships, the Winans Cigar-Ship featured a narrow, elongated hull with a large, vertical funnel at each end, resembling the shape of a cigar. Ross Winans, an accomplished engineer, envisioned these cigar-shaped steamships as a solution to improve transportation efficiency on waterways. The design aimed to reduce wind resistance and increase speed by minimizing the ship's surface area exposed to the elements. However, despite the innovative concept, the Winans Cigar-Ships were not as successful as intended. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, as skilled workers meticulously construct the vessel at Blackwall, a bustling shipbuilding hub on the Thames. The intricate details of the ship's design are evident, from the iron plates being fitted to the hull to the large funnels being installed. The image also showcases the impressive scale of the ship, dwarfing the workers and surrounding structures. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of maritime history, offering a unique perspective on the engineering innovations of the 19th century. The Winans Cigar-Ship, though not ultimately successful, represents the spirit of ingenuity and progress that characterized the era. This image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the engineering feats that shaped our world.
