Description |
English: The 'Teutonic' leaving Liverpool, by William Lionel Wyllie.
A portrait of the White Star liner, RMS Teutonic, leaving Liverpool in July 1889. The ship was built in 1889 for the Atlantic trade by Harland & Wolff Ltd in Belfast, for Ismay Imrie & Co. of Liverpool, the White Star owners. When launched, Teutonic caused a sensation because she and her sister ship, RMS Majestic (1890), were the first luxury liners to be specially designed for potential use as armed merchant cruisers, with gun mountings, magazines and additional bunkerage. She is shown here as a brand new ship in port-bow view, sailing for the Spithead review held in honour of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany on 4 August 1889. Teutonic is also shown flying the blue ensign from the stern (the colour of the Royal Naval reserve and auxiliary forces) and the White Star flag (a white star on a red ground). She has two funnels painted yellow and set far enough apart to enable the saloon to be placed in between. She is flanked by two attendant tugs and the city of Liverpool is visible behind her in the left distance. Sails of sailing ships, representing another age, are shown amongst the funnels and seagulls are featured on the water. The artist and his wife were among the White Star guests who sailed on Teutonic from Liverpool for the Spithead review, and he made sketches on board. The Prince of Wales admired these and showed them to the Kaiser, who later instituted a similar scheme of his own for auxiliary cruisers.The 'Teutonic' leaving Liverpool, 1889 Français : Le 'Teutonic' quittant Liverpool, par William Lionel Wyllie. Portrait du navire de la White Star Line, RMS Teutonic, quittant Liverpool en juillet 1889. Le navire a été construit au milieu des années 1880 pour le service Atlantique par le chantier naval Harland & Wolff à Belfast. Lors de son lancement, le Teutonic a fait sensation car elle et son navire jumeau, le RMS Majestic (1890), ont été les premiers paquebots de luxe à être spécialement conçus pour une utilisation potentielle en tant que croiseurs marchands armés, avec supports de fusil, magazines et bunkerage supplémentaire. Le paquebot est présentée ici comme un tout nouveau navire en vue de l'avant-port, naviguant pour l'examen Spithead tenu en l'honneur de l'empereur Wilhelm II d'Allemagne le 4 août 1889. Le navire est également montré battant le pavillon bleu de l'arrière (la couleur de la réserve de la Royal Naval et les forces auxiliaires) et le drapeau de la White Star Line (une étoile blanche sur fond rouge). Elle a deux entonnoirs peints en jaune et suffisamment espacés pour permettre au carré d'être placé entre les deux. Elle est flanquée de deux remorqueurs et la ville de Liverpool est visible derrière elle sur la gauche. Des voiles de voiliers, représentant un autre âge, figurent parmi les entonnoirs et des mouettes sont en vedette sur l'eau. L'artiste et sa femme faisaient partie des invités White Star qui ont navigué à bord du Teutonic de Liverpool pour la revue Spithead, et il a fait des croquis à bord. Le prince de Galles les admirait et les montra au Kaiser, qui institua plus tard un programme similaire pour les futurs navires de la Classe Kaiser de la Norddeutscher Lloyd.
