Created by Edwin Weedon in 1867, this print captures the grandeur and scale of one of the most iconic ships of its time. The image showcases The Great Eastern, a colossal vessel that was undergoing repairs along the picturesque Cheshire Shore of the Mersey River. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to an era where shipbuilding and repair were feats of engineering marvels. The intricate details within this engraving allow us to appreciate both the sheer size and craftsmanship involved in maintaining such a magnificent ship.
