Powered by 11,000 horsepower engines, it could reach speeds of 25 miles per hour, making it a marvel of early 20th-century maritime engineering.The postcard measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches and showcases vibrant, detailed lithographic printing that captures the ship cutting through the water under a partly cloudy sky. The intricate artwork highlights the ship's multiple decks, smokestacks, and flags, making it a wonderful collectible for maritime enthusiasts and postcard collectors alike. The back includes printed historical details about the vessel and a handwritten message, with a postmark dated 1910. This piece offers a glimpse into early 1900s passenger ship travel and lithographic printing techniques, perfect for those interested in nautical history or vintage postcards.
