Légende

The "Helena Sloman" Steam-Ship, 1850. 'This splendid screw steamer was built at the works of Messrs. T. and W. Pim, engineers...and is intended for passenger traffic between [Hamburg] and New York. She is the first of a line of steamers designed for the conveyance of emigrants from Germany to the United States; which, considering the great number that annually leave their Fatherland for the shores of America, will probably become equally extensive and important.' She was '...the largest screw steamer that has been built at Hull...She is propelled by two engines of 80 horse-power each...and the steam is supplied by tubular boilers on a new construction, patented by her builders...The model and rig of the Helena Sloman are calculated equally for steaming and sailing; and her performance has proved her to be a first-rate sea-boat'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
