GONZALEZ GARCIA, O.. Paddle steamer "Cid": pioneer of commercial steam navigation to first hospital steamship. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.3, pp.235-245. ISSN 1887-8571.

The advent of the steam engine had achieved to navigate without relying on the forces of nature. The race to get an efficient commercial had begun. With the delay caused by the Independence War, Spain joined the race. Among the first commercial steamboats was the "Cid". In 1859, in the African War, the need for regular casualties evacuations made the "Cid" to be designated as a hospital ship, the first hospital steamship in the world. Dr. Nicasio Landa was responsible for carrying out the mission with a modern, efficient and exemplary organization. Soon paddle steamers lost their battle against screw steamers and "Cid" became obsolete. However, despite its short operational life, little more than fifteen years, it wrote an important page in the History of sailing in Spain.
