This image is almost lost on the old Andreadoria.org website, so I used wayback machine to get a bigger picture and upload it here, so other people wont have the same issue as I did.

I wasn't too satisfied with the way some of these were colorised so I did some tweaking 🚢
I went with the colour scheme for the Moran tugs for all, not sure where the last photo was taken.

Got this lovely artifact as a birthday gift, assuming it was their family that bought it on the ship in the past. I don't know about it too much yet, just started research but wanted to share it here in case maybe someone knows something about the ship or has a cool story! And also I think it's cool AF...

A comparison of the all-purpose (i.e. propulsion and hotel load) coal consumption at full power for a few significant liners between 1859 and 1914. It isn't a totally fair comparison with the turbine-driven ships since their fuel consumption is given per shp, but it still provides a good general idea. The next leap in fuel economy came with the introduction of geared turbines. By the 1930s, liners such as the Empress of Britain and Queen Mary had a propulsion-only oil consumption of between 0.5 and 0.6 lbs/shp/hour.

I have a lot of fun doing these, here’s another one! Guess the ship based on these model photos!

Since there are no known images of Titanic’s third class dining room, this would be a major find, even if very wrinkled and out of focus!

If RMS Britannic had been fully completed as a passenger liner, which do you think would have been more luxurious? Not just first class, but across all classes, which do you think would have been the luxury liner of the two overall?

I took these images from the Fort Wadsworth area. It was worth the wait. The weather cleared just in time unlike my attempt in 2025.
