The North German Lloyd's New Steam-ship "Hudson", 1858. This magnificent steam-ship, built by the eminent iron shipbuilding firm of Messrs. Palmer, Allport, and Co. at Jarrow, on the Tyne, is the first completed of two sister ships, the Hudson and the Weser, built for the North German Lloyd's, a company under whose auspices the twin vessels will run in the passenger trade between Bremen and New York; and hence their names, the Hudson and the Weser, to correspond with the two rivers with which the commerce and history of those cities are so closely identified...This enormous vessel, which is of 3000 tons register...is longer than the Great Britain...The machinery is by Messrs. J. B. and C. M. Palmer. The nominal horse-power of the engines is 746, the indicated horse-power being 2600; and to put this powerful machinery in motion there are four boilers, with twenty-four furnaces...accommodation is provided for about seven hundred and forty persons...The estimated rate of the vessel is fifteen miles an hour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
