Our Navy in Australian Waters, a Days Shooting in Moreton Bay, Queensland
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Joseph Nash that takes us back to the 19th century. The scene depicts a group of midshipmen from the Royal Navy arriving at Moreton Bay, Australia for some much-needed leisure time. As they disembark their jolly boat and step onto the shore, the middies are greeted by Lieutenant Smith who eagerly awaits their arrival. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the bay, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Excitement fills the air as they prepare for a day of sport and adventure. Amidst lush mangrove trees and mud islands, these missing sportsmen have found solace in this picturesque location. They gather around fires lit by their naval friends onshore while others wade through shallow waters or sit perched on boatswain yards. The joyous camaraderie between these young men is evident as they share stories and laughter. It's clear that this outing has provided them with respite from their duties aboard naval vessels. Nash's artwork beautifully captures not only the natural beauty of Moreton Bay but also highlights the importance of recreation and bonding among members of our armed forces. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst military operations, moments like these can bring immense delight to those serving their country far away from home.
