Description
English: The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company's Screw Steam Ship "Madras".

Hand-coloured. The'Madras' is shown prominently in the left-centre of the painting, cruising off Eddystone Light under steam and sail. She proved to be fast and steady and had a long career with Peninsular & Oriental before being finally sold to the Japanese, who converted her to sail and re-named 'Kanagawa Maru'. She was placed under the management of Mitsibushi Mail Steamship Company. In 1896 she was laid up in Nagasaki, but soon after was sent to sea and wrecked.
A starboard-broadside view of the screw steamship 'Madras.' She was part of the Peninsular and Oriental (P&O) Steam Navigation Company that carried mail, passengers, and cargo between the UK, Spain and Portugal, Egypt, India, the Far East, and Australia. By the mid-nineteenth century, most of the new ships built for P&O were powered by screw propellers instead of paddle-wheels.
