"Exploring the Legacy of Paddle Wheel Steamers: From Great Western to Wissmann's African Adventure" Step back in time and witness the marvels of paddle wheel steamers through captivating artworks and historical moments. One lithograph transports us to the era of the Great Western steamship, a magnificent vessel that revolutionized transatlantic travel. Its paddle wheels churned with power, propelling passengers across vast oceans towards new horizons. In Northern Germany, a picturesque port in Zingst showcases a charming paddle steamer against the backdrop of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The rhythmic motion of its paddles echoes through history, reminding us of an era when these vessels ruled waterways. Further south along Darss lies Prerow, where another paddle wheel steamer gracefully glides through tranquil waters. This scene evokes nostalgia for leisurely voyages filled with anticipation and wonder. The landing of President Armand Fallieres in Amsterdam immortalizes yet another momentous event involving a paddle wheel steamer. An oil painting captures this grand arrival, showcasing the elegance and prestige associated with these majestic vessels. Traveling back even further in time, we encounter "Figures on the Beach, " an oil painting from 1867-70 that hints at leisurely seaside holidays made possible by these remarkable steamers. Venturing beyond European shores, we delve into African exploration alongside Hermann Wilhelm Leopold Ludwig Wissmann aboard his trusty paddle wheel steamer. This intrepid adventurer utilized this technological marvel to navigate uncharted territories and unravel mysteries hidden within Africa's depths. However, not all stories are tales of triumph; some reveal tragic events etched into history's fabric. Witness divers working diligently to recover objects lost during the shipwreck tragedy of Sirio off Spain's coast—an eerie reminder that even mighty steamships were vulnerable amidst nature's fury. Similarly haunting is a lithograph depicting divers bringing up corpses from the Liban steamshipwreck near Marseille.
