Turbinia is a notable work by the artist John S. Smith, depicting the famous steam-powered ship that revolutionized marine engineering with its unprecedented speed and innovative technology. The artwork captures the essence of the vessel, which was designed by the British engineer Sir Charles Algernon Parsons and launched in 1894. Turbinia was the first ship to be powered by a steam turbine, and at the time of her trials in 1897, she achieved a then-remarkable speed of over 34 knots, making her the fastest ship afloat.

John S. Smith's representation of Turbinia is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance, as it portrays a pivotal moment in maritime history. The artwork is a testament to the ingenuity of Parsons and the dawn of a new era in ship propulsion. Smith's work is characterized by attention to detail and a commitment to realism, which is evident in the accurate portrayal of Turbinia's sleek hull and the powerful wake generated by her high-speed trials.

Turbinia, as depicted by Smith, serves as a visual reminder of the ship's role in demonstrating the superiority of turbine propulsion over traditional reciprocating engines, leading to widespread adoption of the technology in both naval and merchant ships. The artwork is appreciated by both art enthusiasts and maritime historians for its depiction of the vessel that marked a turning point in nautical engineering.

The painting is often sought after by collectors and institutions with an interest in maritime heritage, and it is frequently featured in exhibitions that explore the intersection of technology and art. John S. Smith's Turbinia remains an enduring piece that continues to inspire and educate audiences about the transformative power of human innovation in the field of marine propulsion.
