The shipping industry has a rich history that spans across continents and centuries. From the majestic S. S Etruria, sailing from New York to Liverpool in November 1890, to the Cunard Line's Ivernia off New Brighton in 1910, these vessels were not just means of transportation but symbols of human ingenuity and exploration. In Hamburg, Germany, Europe, a container ship gracefully glides along the River Elbe. This modern marvel represents the evolution of shipping technology and its vital role in global trade. Meanwhile, a glimpse into history takes us back to 1912 when passengers aboard the Titanic enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with their second-class menu. The Queen Mary stands tall at Clydebank, Glasgow in 1934 - an iconic Cunard liner that captured hearts with its grandeur and elegance. Centuries earlier in London's Lloyds Coffee House of 1798 (depicted in 1947), maritime insurance was born as merchants gathered to discuss risks associated with sea voyages. As we fast forward to 1936, we witness the magnificent Berengaria approaching Cunard pier - another testament to engineering prowess and luxury travel. However, even before these giants graced our oceans, there was Great Eastern on the stocks at Millwall on the Thames in 1857 - an ambitious project ahead of its time. Art also captures moments within this industry's narrative; John Wood Approaching Bombay by Joseph Heard showcases both beauty and adventure as ships sailed through exotic waters around c1850. And let us not forget how ports like Antwerp were bustling hubs for trade as early as1520. Lastly, we delve into artistic representations such as Steamship La Champagne from French Line's Ocean and River Steamers series (N83). These artworks immortalize vessels that connected people across vast distances while symbolizing progress during their respective eras.
