The iron steam screw collier, "Q. E. D. ", 1844. Creator: Unknown
The iron steam screw collier, " Q. E. D.", 1844. A perfect novelty in the coal trade arrived in the river Thames...and took in her moorings at the tier off Princes Stairs, Rotherhithe, where she has attracted considerable attention and curiosity. This was an iron vessel of handsome appearance, barque rigged, with taunt masts and square yards, the masts raking aft...The hull was built by Mr. Cootes, who is the owner, at Walker s-quay, near Newcastle, and is of peculiar construction, with a 20 horse power engine, by Hawthorn, which turns a screw propeller (a compound of several inventions).... From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
