EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in maritime history. The image showcases Engineer Richard Tangye standing proudly beside one of the Tangye hydraulic rams, which were crucial for the sixth launch attempt of the iconic steamship Great Eastern in December 1857. The photograph transports us back to Victorian England, where innovation and engineering prowess were at their peak. The imposing hull of the Great Eastern dominates the background, showcasing its impressive size and grandeur. Tangye, dressed impeccably in his top hat and suit, exudes confidence as he oversees this pivotal moment in transportation history. Isambard Brunel's visionary creation, the SS Great Eastern, was not only an engineering marvel but also a symbol of progress during that era. This photograph beautifully captures both its exterior beauty and technological advancements through Tangye's presence next to the hydraulic ram. The middle-aged men surrounding Tangye add depth to this historical snapshot; they are likely fellow engineers or workers who contributed to this ambitious project. Their serious expressions hint at the immense pressure they faced during each launch attempt. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand titled "0001691 (STEAMSHIP: GREAT EASTERN)" we are reminded of how human ingenuity can conquer even seemingly insurmountable challenges. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress and exploration throughout time.
