EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) SS Prague, a magnificent steamship launched in October 1931. Built by the esteemed John Brown and Company at Clydebank, Scotland, the SS Prague was a sister vessel to the Vienna and Amsterdam. Originally designed for service on the Harwich-Hook of Holland route, this vessel was a testament to the engineering prowess of the early 20th century. The SS Prague's sleek profile and distinctive funnels are on full display in this image, evoking a sense of elegance and power. With its impressive dimensions and advanced features, the ship was a marvel of transportation technology during the 1930s. However, the SS Prague's history was not limited to peacetime service. During World War II, this vessel was repurposed as a troopship, playing a crucial role in transporting troops and supplies across the North Sea. The ship's sturdy construction and impressive capabilities made it an invaluable asset during this time. This photograph, taken circa 1931, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of steamships, transatlantic travel, and the golden age of shipping. The SS Prague remains a fascinating piece of maritime history, a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the engineers and designers who brought it to life.
