This historic photograph captures the essence of the General Artigas, a prominent steamship that began its journey under a different name in 1913. Originally built in Gran Bretaña, this vessel operated passenger services between Buenos Aires and Montevideo. With a remarkable speed of 14 knots and a capacity for 257 first-class passengers, it represented luxury and comfort in its era. The General Artigas played a crucial role in maritime history, navigating the waters while competing against rival lines. A true collector's item for enthusiasts of maritime heritage.

The General Artigas is more than just a steamship; it’s a symbol of maritime heritage that dates back to its commissioning in 1913. Originally launched as the Cabo Santa María, this impressive vessel was built in the renowned shipyard A.C J. in Great Britain and offered luxurious passenger services connecting Buenos Aires with Montevideo. In 1922, the ship underwent a transformation when it was acquired by The Argentine Navigation Company and renamed General Artigas. With a gross tonnage of 1,717 tons and powered by an impressive triple expansion steam engine, this steamship could reach service speeds of 14 knots, making it one of the fastest vessels of its time. The General Artigas played a pivotal role in maritime transport, even stirring up competition as it faced challenges from rival companies. Over its operational years, the steamship underwent several repairs and maintenance work, ensuring its reliable service to passengers. Enveloped in rich history, it witnessed the evolution of maritime travel, from elegant night boarding procedures to the hustle of passengers embarking on their journey. Sadly, after decades of service, the General Artigas was decommissioned in 1960 and ultimately sold for scrap in 1961, marking the end of an impressive era in passenger sea travel.

Usage ideas This vintage photograph is perfect for collectors, museums, or as a unique decorative piece in a nautical-themed space. Consider adding it to a maritime art collection or gifting it to a history enthusiast who appreciates the nostalgia of early 20th Century travel.
