I took these images from the Fort Wadsworth area. It was worth the wait. The weather cleared just in time unlike my attempt in 2025.

Unfortunately didn’t find any info about the year when this photo was taken, or the place

Another guess the ship from the model! Good luck!

The SS Stella was a passenger ferry operated by the London & South Western Railway between Southampton and the Channel Islands. She was built in 1890 and sank in 1899 after striking the Casquets reef in fog, with 86 passengers and 19 crew dying. A Board of Trade inquiry found the captain entirely at fault due to proceeding through fog at full speed, with allegations of racing the SS Lynx (operated by the rival Great Western Railway) unable to be fully proved or disproved.

Just watched this amazing documentary on the Andrea Doria by one of my favourite YouTubers

Photo of the Norwegian America liner Trondhjemsfjord, assumably entering port. 

She was launched on the 21st of December 1911, operated for the NSNC (Neptune Steam Navigation Company) under the name Cotswold Range from 1912 until 1914 when she was sold to the Norwegian America line and renamed Trondhjemsfjord. The vessel boasted a length of 116 meters, approximately a width of 16, and featured a 3 cylinder triple-expansion engine. This would give her a speed of around 10 knots. During her sea trials, she peaked at 11.75 knots.

Unfortunately she sunk on the 28th of July 1915 by the hands of a german submarine, to which U-41 was later discovered to be the culprit. Despite Norway being neutral during the first world war, Trondhjemsfjord would be caught in the crossfire of submarine warfare, along with many other ships.

Photo taken by Narve Skarpmoen and information from Wikipedia. The article is available there if you would like to read more about the ship.

Apart from a few small models, and a cargo liner anchor outside, this appears to be the only significant ocean liner related item on display here. They seem to focus more on older maritime history and exploration.

Result of about 6 months of research and work. Britannia has very little easily accessible accurate depictions and I wanted to change that. I also wanted to showcase 3 newly discovered photographs of the Britannia taken in the 1870's which I believe are the first photos to be found of her. I think i'm the first person in the community to find these. Britannia had a very unique and eventful life and I am excited to share it with everyone!

The SS Princess Alice was a British passenger paddle steamer famous for the 1878 River Thames disaster. Colliding with the collier SS Bywell Castle, she broke in two and sank in under four minutes, killing an estimated 650 people, making it Britain's worst inland waterway disaster.
