1935Fine Turkish Original two b/w photos of SS Üsküdar. 9x14 cm. SS Üsküdar was a small passenger ferry built in Germany for the Turkish company Sirket-i Hayriye and launched in 1927. She sank in lodos weather on March 1, 1958 in the Gulf of Izmit. The accident killed 272 people on board including seven crew, 39 survived the incident. SS Üsküdar was built by F. Schichau Shipyard in Elbing, Germany in 1927 with funnel number 72. She was the first of two identical vessels the Turkish urban transportation company Sirket-i Hayriye commissioned in the Republican era. She was 33 m (108 ft) long with a beam of 6.6 m (22 ft) and a draft of 2 m (6.6 ft). Three steam engines of 350 shp (260.99 kW) propelled her initially at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph), which later dropped to 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph). SS Üsküdar was capable of carrying 344 passengers. 430 lifejackets, 35 lifebuoys and two lifeboats were on board the ferry. SS Üsküdar was on scheduled shuttle trips on the Sea of Marmara between Izmit and Degirmendere, a town on the southern coast of the Gulf of Izmit. On March 1, 1958, "lodos", a heavy SW storm was raising high seas. Mehmet Asçi, captain of SS Üsküdar, departed the ferry three minutes before the scheduled time of 12:30 local time from Izmit Pier, because the vessel was more vulnerable at the pier than at open sea. Shipmate Ali Kaya, who jumped onto the pier and untied the hawser, could not return to the ferry as the ship suddenly left the pier. The ferry had nine crew and 302 passengers aboard including 76 students from a local vocational high school. As the ferry headed to Degirmendere, high waves raised by the storm blowing at 130 km/h (81 mph) rocked the small vessel. The bridge broke off and fell into water, taking the captain and the boatswain with it. The rudder chain broke leaving the ferry uncontrollable. Water filled the engine room and the front passenger department after breaking the window glass. 26 minutes from her departure, SS Üsküdar careened over on the port side and sank at 12:53 local time. 272 people died including 38 students and seven crew. 37 passengers and two crew survived the disaster. Eight days after the incident, the Turkish Navy started a search and rescue operation. The muddy seabed hindered salvage efforts. On March 19, 1958, after eleven days of endeavors, the wreck was lifted with three slings off the 35 m (115 ft) deep seabed. Four corpses were recovered. It was observed that at some places, the steel sheets of the ship's hull were torn. (Wikipedia).

1831rif. 350541Knight and Lacey London 1831-32. Card Covers. Very Good Condition. The Mechanics' Magazine issues from November 1831 to January 1832 contained an extensive report on steam navigation accidents documenting the findings of a Select Committee of the House of Commons. This committee was formed to investigate the frequent calamities occurring in steam-powered vessels and to propose solutions to prevent future disasters. The report primarily written by Colonel Sibthorpe the committee chairman ran to approximately 70 columns and covered : Detailed accounts of steamship accidents including causes and consequences ; Technical assessments of steam engine failures and structural weaknesses in vessels ; Safety recommendations including improved boiler designs and operational protocols ; and economic and legislative considerations discussing the impact of regulations on steam navigation. These discussions were crucial in shaping early maritime safety regulations influencing the development of safer steamship designs and operational standards. The Mechanics' Magazine played a vital role in disseminating these findings to engineers shipbuilders and policymakers. The collection consists of the following seven complete issues: No. 433 Nov 26th 1831 to No. 439 Jan 7th 1832. Genuine Original and Packed with Innovation!
