SS Toledo.
Image made by Jacob Olie with a self made collodium glass-plate camera around 1890. Het probably used a Dallmeijer lens of 200 mm.
De original image is colored and the contrast of the background was diminished by using deep learning AI software, and a little by myself.
The Toledo was built in 1880 by the shipbuilder Barclay, Curle & Co. Ltd in Glasgow at the Clydeholm shipyard.
It was a so-called screw steamer; a steamboat with a propeller drive that was revolutionary for that time; and not with cogwheels as was common at the time. The ship was therefore designated SS Toledo.
Steamships with cogwheels on either side were designated with the prefix "PS" for paddle steamer. If the ship had propellers or screws (schroeven in Dutch) for propulsion, it became "SS" for screw steamer. So it is NOT correct that SS is the abbreviation for steamship, which many people think!
The masts are derricks (in Dutch a Dirk) and were mainly intended for loading and unloading and not for sailing.
This ship was registered in Leith and owned by the shipping company Leith, Hull & Hamburg Steam Packet Co.
