Being the first Nuclear civilian ship, the N.S. Savannah was meant to be the future of the seas- but not all machines are destined to change the world. The fear of nuclear power held it back from it's intended purpose, ultimately forcing it to fade into obscurity despite it's immense leaps and bounds in technology.

Pictured here is a Norfolk and Western Class J steam locomotive- one of the most advanced locomotives ever, and arguably the pinnacle of steam-powered passenger rail. In the latter half of the 50s, these steam engines would gradually fade away as the world moved on ahead of them, to a world of diesel and electric trains. One of these such locomotives, however, simply refused to be put down: N&W 611, a train restored to running order not once but twice, eventually becoming one of the few remaining locomotives to run today. Though created at a time in the world which rendered them obsolete, 611 lives on- not as a workhorse, but a living reminder of the stepping stones it took to get where we are now.

The De Haviland Comet was the first jet-powered airliner to take to the skies, it's introduction practically halving the time of air travel and allowing much safer flights that could fly above storms, something not ever seen before in air transit. they flew faster than any other, and because of that necessitated longer runways which would kickstart the infrastructure needed for later, heavier jets. In that sense, these planes quite literally were machines that shaped the world- These planes, though flawed in their early iterations, paved the way for the interconnected world of air travel we live in. today.

The telegraph and long-range radio communication were one of the great leaps forward into technology that brought on the end of an era- the era of battleships. Pictured here is a Type 36 morse code transmitter key, the very same one that transmitted the fateful encoded message that would begin the last clash of battleships on the high seas: the Battle of Tsushima. Something as simple as a radio completely changed the seas from a hostile, empty ocean to a sea flooded with other steamships in the matter of a decade- few other innovations in shipbuilding have had such a profound effect on sea travel as a whole.
