Exploring new frontiers of maritime innovation, the steam frigate, a symbol of progress in the 19th century, took center stage in various historic endeavors. The engravings of "North Star," sent in search of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, showcase its sleek design and powerful presence. Officers and marines manning the decks of these colossal ships were a testament to the military might they represented. Thursday marked a momentous occasion as the "Terrible" steam-frigate was launched, its gun, reminiscent of the mighty cannon from the "Merrimac," ready to defend. The "Avenger" followed suit at Devonport, adding another formidable vessel to the steam fleet. The crew of the USS Colorado, as depicted in Harper's Weekly, embodied the spirit of the era, their determined gaze reflecting the resolve to embark on the United States Expedition to Japan. The steam frigates "Pocohontas" and "Mississippi" proudly sailed the seas, their broadside views a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Amidst the tumult of the American Civil War, steam frigates played a pivotal role, as seen in this 1863 image of a Union vessel. Even the submarine, a relatively new addition to the naval arsenal, was steam-powered, showcasing the unyielding commitment to advancement. The steam frigate, a beacon of innovation and progress, left an indelible mark on maritime history.
