A photo-processed reproduction print after a painting by Samuel Walters. The steamship sails towards the left off a shore with a lighthouse. She was built for the Inman line and made her maiden voyage on April 29, 1875, making stops at Liverpool, Queenstown, and then New York. She crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a record-breaking 7 days, 18 hours, and 2 minutes, which was 5 hours faster than the previous record.
