June 12th, 1886: A Historical Moment at the Royal Albert Dock This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in history as colonial visitors man the yards of the P & O steam-ship Rome at the Royal Albert Dock in London. The date, June 12th, 1886, marks the beginning of a new era in maritime transportation and international trade. The men in this image, predominantly Malays, are working diligently to secure the ropes and sails of the impressive steam-ship. Their attire reflects their diverse cultural backgrounds, with some wearing traditional Malay headgear and others donning Western-style hats and clothing. This fusion of Eastern and Western influences highlights the global reach and interconnectedness of the British Empire at the time. The Royal Albert Dock, completed in 1880, was a marvel of engineering and innovation. It was the largest dock in the world at the time and played a crucial role in the import and export of goods from around the globe. The arrival of the P & O steam-ship Rome, with its Malay crew, underscores the multicultural nature of the bustling dockyard. The steam-ship Rome, launched in 1885, was a testament to the advancements in steamship technology. Its powerful engines and modern design made it one of the fastest and most efficient vessels of its time. The ship's arrival in London marked the beginning of a new chapter in maritime transportation, as steamships began to replace sailing ships for long-distance voyages. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the diverse and dynamic world of the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of international trade and the role that the Royal Albert Dock played in shaping the global economy.
