To The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company this Print of their Iron Screw Steam Ship ''Ceylon'', (2020 Tons, R.W. Evans, Commander,) is most respectfully dedicated by their obedient Servant, W. Foster.
T.G. Dutton Del. et Lith. Day ^ Son Lith.rs to the Queen.
London, Published by W.m Foster, 114 Fenchurch Street [n.d., c.1858].
Scarce tinted lithograph. Framed, sight size 520 x 670mm (20½ x 26¼"). Unexamined out of frame.
A portrait of the SS Ceylon, a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamer, at sea. Built by P&O in 1858 for use on the regular service from Southampton to Malta and Alexandria, the ship was sold in 1881 to the 'Inter-Oceanic Steam Yachting Company Limited', who advertised a round-the world cruise later that year, believed to be the first to be offered commercially. However, even after a refit to improve the luxury, it proved impossible to entice enough people to take a long cruise for fun and the IOSYC went into receivership. The 'Ceylon' was sold, to be bought by the Regent Street Polytechnic (noew Westminster University) and used for educational cruises, mostly to Norway and the Baltic until 1907.
