EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1856, depicts the triumphant launch of three iron screw steam-vessels at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The first vessel, a sleek screw steam-yacht named for Mr. George Parker Bidder of London, showcases the elegant marine adaptation of Robert Stephenson and Company's locomotive engine. The second launch was of the Paris, a magnificent steamer, approximately two hundred feet long, destined for the bustling ports of Hamburg and Havre. The machinery for this passenger and cargo ship was skillfully crafted by Robert Morrison and Company. The third and final launch was that of the Eupatoria, a substantial screw collier, whose engines were expertly engineered by Robert Stephenson and Company. The excitement in the air is palpable as the crowd cheers and waves their flags, celebrating the advancements in shipbuilding and the industrial revolution. The ships were launched from the esteemed building-yard of Messrs. C. Mitchell and Co, marking a significant moment in maritime history. The photograph, with its intricate details and dynamic energy, transports us back to this pivotal era, where innovation and progress were at the forefront of the British spirit.
