This print takes us back to the year 1897, where we find ourselves at a bustling dock in New York City. The magnificent S. S. "Umbria" stands proudly, its grandeur and elegance unmatched by any other vessel of its time. This British steamship, belonging to the renowned Cunard Line, was a true marvel of engineering and luxury. The image captures the essence of travel and adventure as passengers eagerly await their embarkation onto this floating palace. The ship's towering smokestacks billow out plumes of smoke, hinting at the immense power that lies within her mighty engines. Bunting adorns every corner of the ship, adding a festive touch to this momentous occasion.

"Umbria" represents an era when ocean liners were not only means of transportation but also symbols of national pride and technological advancement. Its presence evokes images of opulent ballrooms filled with elegantly dressed passengers savoring gourmet meals while traversing vast oceans. This remarkable snapshot freezes a fleeting moment in history - an era when transatlantic voyages were both awe-inspiring adventures and luxurious escapes from everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world dominated by airplanes and high-speed trains, there is still something magical about setting sail on these majestic vessels into
