EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print features Captain William Harrison, the esteemed commander of the legendary "Great Eastern" Steam-ship in 1858. The identity of the creator of this image remains unknown, but it is known that it was derived from a portrait taken by Mr. Beard, a renowned photographer based in King William-street. Captain Harrison's impressive maritime career began in 1842 when he joined the Cunard line, a leading company specializing in transatlantic passenger and cargo services between Liverpool and North America. Throughout his tenure with the Cunard line, Harrison earned a reputation as the most exceptional officer, consistently completing his voyages in the shortest time possible and incurring the fewest losses. His exceptional skills and dedication to his work were the foundation of his remarkable rise to prominence. After fifteen years of dedicated service to one of the world's foremost maritime companies, Captain Harrison was granted the honor of commanding the most extraordinary marvel of the age - the Great Eastern. Designed by the brilliant Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Great Eastern was an iron sail-powered, paddle wheel and screw-propelled steamship that redefined the boundaries of maritime engineering. This magnificent vessel, previously known as the Great Leviathan, was a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the Victorian era. Captain Harrison's appointment to command this engineering marvel was a fitting recognition of his distinguished merit and unwavering commitment to excellence in the realm of maritime navigation.
