Framed Print of Hull steam-ship Orlando, for passenger traffic to Sweden, 1870. Creator: Unknown
Hull steam-ship Orlando, for passenger traffic to Sweden, 1870. New screw-steamer...built to the order of Messrs. Thomas Wilson, Sons, and Co. steamship owners, expressly for the passenger trade between Hull and Gothenburg. [She] will make the sea passage in forty hours, which will furnish the shortest and most direct communication with Sweden and Norway...The accommodation is forty-two first-class passengers and thirty second-class passengers. The engines are compound, with all the modern improvements, surface condensing, and will work up to 1200-horse power. The vessels and engines were built by Messrs. C. and W. Earle...In the trial trip of the Orlando, with a company of ladies and gentlemen invited by the owners...the vessel attained a speed of twelve knots and a half an hour...Messrs. Wier and Co.'s atmospheric telegraph is fitted for steering and for steaming. By this apparatus the captain, while standing on the bridge, without uttering a word, or any action but the movement of a handle, is able to give orders to the man at the wheel or the engineer...This system works admirably, and is capable of useful extension to the lighting and signalling of ships'.
