Built in 1914 for the Rotterdam Lloyd company, this Dutch steam ship was a true marvel of its time. Serving as a passenger freight ship between Rotterdam and Jakarta, it connected two distant lands with grace and efficiency. During World War I, the SS Insulinde was temporarily laid up before being sold to the Fabre Lines of Marseilles in 1933. Renamed Banfora, she embarked on new adventures, running routes from Marseilles to West Africa. Her sturdy structure proved invaluable during World War II when she served as a British troop and supply transport. This image showcases not only the craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes but also offers a glimpse into an era long gone.

As you admire this photograph, imagine yourself walking through these very corridors that once buzzed with excitement and anticipation. Feel transported back to a time when steam ships ruled over water transport, connecting countries across vast oceans. A true testament to maritime history, this print is sure to captivate anyone with an appreciation for both artistry and nostalgia.
