The Marmora, screw steamer at Liverpool, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The Marmora, screw steamer at Liverpool, 1845. The Marmora is a neat, light bark, with exceedingly lofty masts. She is fitted with Ericssons propellers, on nearly the same principle as the screws of the Great Britain, and carries a low-pressure engine, a new invention, by which the consumption of coal is comparatively small...Her size is registered at 400 tons; she is 24 1/4 feet beam, 10 1/2 feet hold, and 145 feet keel: engine 155 horse-power. She presents a very neat appearance; her rigging is that of a bark, lofty, and exceedingly well trimmed, and capable of carrying her ten knots with a fair wind...She is destined for Constantinople, to be placed under the direction of the Turkish Government, to ply between the above capital and Paris. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the bustling maritime era of the 19th century. This unknown creator beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable vessel as it stands proudly in Liverpool's harbor. The Marmora, with its sleek design and towering masts, showcases the advancements of Ericssons propellers and a low-pressure engine - innovative technologies that revolutionized coal consumption. With her registered size of 400 tons and impressive dimensions, including a beam of 24¼ feet and keel length of 145 feet, The Marmora exudes elegance and efficiency. Her rigging is meticulously arranged like that of a bark ship, capable of sailing at an impressive speed of ten knots with favorable winds. This magnificent steamship was destined for Constantinople under the direction of the Turkish Government. Its purpose was to connect two great capitals - Constantinople and Paris - facilitating transportation between these significant centers. As we gaze upon this engraving from "Illustrated London News" we are transported back in time to witness not only technological progress but also international cooperation. The image evokes admiration for both British engineering prowess and American innovation during this period. It serves as a reminder that transportation has always played a vital role in connecting nations across vast distances throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty and significance behind water transport while honoring those who contributed to its development.
