"Ramillies: A Name Echoing Through Centuries of History" In 1935, during the grand Kings Silver Jubilee Fleet Review, HMS Ramillies stood tall as a symbol of British naval might. Little did she know that her destiny would intertwine with momentous events like D-Day in World War II. Renowned for being part of the most powerful combination of warships ever seen, Ramillies sailed proudly alongside the Channel and Mediterranean Squadrons off Nauplia. The lithograph capturing this awe-inspiring sight immortalizes the sheer strength and unity displayed by these formidable fleets. Lagos Bay witnessed another historic encounter when Ramillies welcomed the King of Portugal during his visit to the Combined Mediterranean and Channel Squadrons. An engraving preserves this special occasion, showcasing both nations' commitment to maritime diplomacy. However, centuries before her launch, Ramillies found herself entangled in a different kind of battle - one fought on land. The Battle in Spanish Netherlands saw the Duke of Marlborough risking everything to secure victory. This pivotal moment is vividly depicted on playing cards commemorating the War of Spanish Succession. Beyond warfare, glimpses into everyday life emerge through lithographs featuring characters and scenes from early 18th-century society. These images offer a window into an era where wigs were fashion statements donned by both ancient and modern patterns. Fast forward to c. 1910; another lithograph captures Marlborough leading cavalry charges at Ramillies once again – a testament to its enduring significance throughout history. The echoes continue with engravings depicting recent evolutions within the Channel and Mediterranean Squadrons – constant adaptations reflecting changing times while upholding Britain's naval prowess. Finally, an engraving dedicated solely to battles fought by British forces showcases Ramillies among illustrious company as it etches its name onto military annals forevermore. From royal celebrations to fierce conflicts, it has left an indelible mark on history.
