The largest steam ship in the world, the President, in 1840. The British ship had opulent interiors, imitating those of a luxury hotel, but was top heavy and rolled excessively because she was constructed with a third deck on top of a hull. She was planned to make six Britain to New York crossings a year, but completed only 2, before sinking on her third, March 12, 1841 (BSLOC_2019_7_114)
