Artist's Comments
The Victoriana's Revenge - a clipper of the Bomb Bay Tea Company in full sail.
Hybrid prop/sail powered to maximise range. The engines heat the air around the hydrogen cells for extra lift, and the sails can be angled to provide the same. Angling sails and steering the beast in three dimensions is quite a challenge, so this has a task-specific version of the Babbage/Lovelace analytical engine to make the job easier. It's a "fly by pipe" system, and makes the ship surprisingly agile for such a large vessel. The whole of the rigging can be folded along the flanks for docking and maneuvering in tight spaces, though it's not a quick process. For defence it has a number of 20 pound guns in rotating nacelles, and the rigging can be electrified in case of Air-Kraken attack. This is the second version of the image. the smoke direction has been tweaked and the colour balance has been polished a bit. |

 reports, 1d 9h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
