EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the iconic Clipper Ship Thermopylae, a majestic vessel that ruled the high seas during the 19th century. This stunning print, courtesy of The Mobile Scanning Company Ltd, offers a unique glimpse into the ship's intricate design and impressive architecture.
The photograph showcases three detailed views of the Thermopylae: a profile view revealing its sleek hull and towering masts; a deck plan providing an intimate look at the ship's layout; and a midship section highlighting its robust construction. Additionally, we see an enlarged detail of the fore end of after house, showcasing its ornate details and craftsmanship.
Built in 1868 by Scott & Linton at Greenock on Scotland's west coast, the Thermopylae was one of the most celebrated clipper ships to ever sail. With its record-breaking speed and elegant lines, it dominated transatlantic routes for over two decades before being retired from service in 1891.
This remarkable print is not only a testament to maritime engineering but also an ode to nostalgia for an era when sailing vessels reigned supreme. Whether you're a history buff or simply someone who appreciates beauty in design, this image is sure to captivate your imagination.
