Description: | A view of the stern of 'Turbinia', taken by W. Parry of South Shields. The foam in her wake shows that 'Turbinia' was going at high speed. She could reach a top speed of 34 knots, faster than any vessel equipped with a steam engine. How fast she could go was demonstrated at the 1897 review at Spithead. There 'Turbinia' steamed past the whole Royal Navy, and none of their vessels could catch up with her. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | invention and innovation inventors and innovators made in the North East shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
