Taken from the archives of Harland & Wolff, one of the world's most enduring and repeated shipbuilding companies, Ships presents a selection of elegant designs. During an era in which steam propulsion was still in its infancy, many of these historic illustrations depict the tentative crossover to the new technology, incorporating the fine lines and slender hull shape of the traditional sailing vessel with the power of the new engines.
