Paddle Steamer off the Tyne | G.W. Butland | 1850

This maritime painting, Paddle Steamer off the Tyne by G.W. Butland (circa 1850), captures a steam-powered vessel navigating choppy waters near the mouth of the River Tyne. The paddle steamer, with its tall smokestack emitting a trail of smoke, represents the transition from sail to steam. A traditional sailing ship follows behind, emphasizing the coexistence of old and new maritime technology. The background features a coastal landscape with buildings, a lighthouse, and the ruins of Tynemouth Priory, adding historical depth to the scene. The painting reflects the industrial advancements of the mid-19th century and the evolving world of seafaring.
