The image showcases the grand inauguration ceremony of the Cornwall Railway, which took place on May 14th, 1859. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as several ships gather near Saltash to witness this monumental event. Amongst them is the majestic Vivid Steamer, adorned with flags and bustling with activity. On board stands HRH Prince Albert, accompanied by other members of royalty. The focus of attention lies on the impressive Albert Viaduct in the background - an architectural marvel that symbolizes progress and innovation.
