EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive rudder and screws of the S. S. Imperator, a magnificent ocean liner built for the Hamburg America line. The photograph captures a moment in history, as it was taken around 1912 when the ship was launched on May 23rd of that year. With its construction taking place in Germany's bustling city of Hamburg, this image is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and offers a glimpse into the nautical world. The S. S. Imperator later underwent a transformation, becoming known as RMS Berengaria under the Cunard flag in 1920. This vessel played an important role in transatlantic travel during its time, serving not only as a luxurious passenger liner but also as a troopship during World War I. In this snapshot, we see workmen diligently working on scaffolds surrounding these massive propellers and rudder. Their efforts highlight both the scale and complexity involved in constructing such grand ships. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. As you admire this historic print, let your imagination transport you back to an era where ocean liners like the S. S. Imperator were symbols of elegance and adventure on vast open seas.
