	SS Savannah: First Steamship to London The SS Savannah was the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Built in New York by the shipyard of Crockett and Fickett, Captain Moses Rogers chose the vessel while under construction so changes could be made for the installation of an auxiliary steam engine. The Savannah measured in at 320 tons which was not a large ship for the times. Launched August 22, 1818 her 98ft-6in length of hull could have her sitting across the beam of today's passenger liners. Her historic voyage from Savannah, GA to Liverpool, England to St. Petersburg, Russia then back to Savannah and off to Washington, DC was the first ever taken by a vessel with a steam propulsion plant. Though not a commercial success the experiment (as it came to be called) started the world to wondering and dreaming of bigger plans for ocean travel. The Savannah was sold and her steam plant removed. She continued sailing up and down the east coast until wrecked off Fire Island, NY on a stormy night. Her remains have been looked for but not located to date. $31.29
	USPS Baltic Collins Line The Baltic was the fourth vessel launched for the Collins Line. The company was enjoying great promotional success and claiming victory over the steamers of Cunard at this time. In less than a decade the Collins Line would enter that viscious cycle which ensued when "Speed no matter what the cost" becomes a sole aim of steamship owners. "Click the pic for more info". $19.50
	SS Baltic Cutaway Painting #2 in the American Steam on the Atlantic series. One of Collins four luxury steamers. $22.00
	SS Baltic Scale Color Plans Not much exists except for descriptions and dimensions. The vessel was built by the John Brown Shipyard and was probably designed by Mr. Collins and George Steers together. The straight stem and sharp cutwater are a later Steers naval innovation. I have taken descriptions and drawings of similiar large vessels completed at later dates from this shipbuilder and scaled it all to fit into the Baltic. The only hull lines I could find were of the last Collins steamer the Adriatic, a definite George Steers creation, more than likely taken by the British Admiralty when the ship was purchased by an English firm. George Steers worked with half hull models and there is no tangible evidence to support that he designed the first four Collins Line vessels. $23.90
	SS Ohio American Line This colored pencil drawing is my first study of these small but fine sister vessels built by the Cramp Shipyard of Pennsylvania. This view shows one alteration in Ohio's upper works during her Transatlantic trade life in the late 1870's. In 1898 she would be transferred to the west coast trade for the Empire Transportation Company in the Nome Alaska service. In 1909 she struck a reef in Millbank sound while sailing for Alaska Lines and was lost in shallow waters within view of passing ships for many decades before being blown out of the channel where she sank deemed a hazard to navigation by the army corp of engineers in the 1940's. $9.50

	SS Leviathan: The Other Side The Leviathan started life out as hull #212 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard of Hamburg, Germany. She was launched on April 3, 1913. The "Vaterland" would be the largest vessel afloat for the next 11 years. Origionally built for the Hamburg America Line her career as a german ship of state was cut short (only 3 months of Atlantic crossings) due to the outbreak of WWI July 1914. Interned at Hoboken piers in New Jersey on the Hudson River she was siezed by the Department of the Navy shortly before the USA's declaration of war on Germany in April 1917. It was no easy task to turn a sabotaged vessel of this size into a troop transport. The Vaterland's crew had successfully hidden the cut pipes, cut wires, clogged drains, re-routed steam pipes and many other faults which were easily repaired if you knew where they were. (to be continued) $19.50

	NS Savannah: Savannah, GA The first nuclear powered cargo vessel built for the "Atoms for peace" program. NS Savannah turned out to be a commercial failure.
