Known for its impressive speed, the SS Ireland could make the journey in just two and three-quarter hours, making it a vital link between Ireland and Wales.
The intricate details of this historical print showcase the grandeur of this vessel shortly after its launch, highlighting its importance in facilitating communication and trade between these two bustling ports. The elegant design of the ship's paddle wheels and towering smokestacks evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when steamships ruled the seas.
