The new steam-ship Australia, 1876. Creator: J. R. W

The new steam-ship Australia, 1876. Ocean-going steamer in the South West India Dock, River Thames. A number of state rooms on the upper or hurricane deck are arranged for two passengers only, while a few are admirably adapted for families. These are covered by a light and elegant deck, affording an excellent promenade for passengers during the daytime, and projecting sufficiently over each side to provide both an awning for the cabins and a roomy, sheltered walk...The dining-saloon...is lighted and ventilated by a lofty dome-shaped skylight, which is one of the most striking features of the ship. Contrary to custom, the saloon is placed forward of the funnel, thus escaping the smoke and heat from the engine-room. The Australia has accommodation for 164 first-class, 24 second-class, and 85 third-class passengers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
