The Four-Paddle-Wheel Danube Steamer "Tachtalia", 1854. Under a charter granted by the Austrian Government, the exclusive privilege of the regular traffic of the Danube is conferred upon...the Imperial and Royal Steam Danube Navigation Company...The company...has now surmounted this inconvenience [rocks near the surface of the River Danube], having just added to its fleet a steamer that can pass the Iron Gate, in all states of the river - her draught, with passengers and fuel, being only twelve inches and a half. This vessel...has been constructed by Messrs. J. and A. Blyth, the eminent marine engineers, of Limehouse, London...The boiler occupies the centre of the vesssel, and is suspended by attachments to the vertical ribs, so as to diffuse the weight over the whole surface of the bottom of the steamer'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Four-Paddle-Wheel Danube Steamer "Tachtalia" from 1854, an engineering marvel of its time. The steamer, an exclusive addition to the Imperial and Royal Steam Danube Navigation Company's fleet, was designed to navigate the challenging waters of the Danube River, particularly the notorious rocks near the surface. The Austrian Government granted the company the exclusive rights to manage the Danube's commercial traffic, and this new steamer was a significant investment to overcome the inconvenience of the river's obstacles. With a shallow draught of just twelve and a half inches, the "Tachtalia" was able to pass through the Iron Gate, a notoriously difficult section of the Danube, in all water levels. Constructed by the renowned marine engineers J. and A. Blyth of Limehouse, London, the steamer's innovative design featured a central boiler suspended from the vertical ribs, distributing the weight evenly across the bottom of the vessel. This engineering solution allowed the "Tachtalia" to effectively navigate the Danube's complex waters, providing passengers with a more efficient and comfortable journey. The "Illustrated London News" reported on the "Tachtalia's" successful launch in 1854, highlighting the company's commitment to overcoming the Danube's challenges and enhancing travel along this historic waterway.
