not just any ship either, Campania was the largest and fastest passenger liner afloat when she entered service in 1893. She crossed the Atlantic in less than six days; and on her second voyage in 1893, she won the prestigious Blue Riband, previously held by the Inman Liner SS City of Paris, losing it the following year to her identical sister, Lucania.

As you seem to imply, it's hard to say when the civil war was "over" . Really great photo. Thanks.

Goodness, these machines were huge! My aunt speaks of the threshing days and how the women all worked to put on a dinner for the farmers.
