Memorial at Portsmouth: A Tribute to the Crew of HMS Royal George (1782) This evocative image captures the Memorial at Portsmouth, dedicated to the memory of the brave men who lost their lives when HMS Royal George sank off the heel of Spithead on 29 August 1782. The tragic event occurred during the late 18th century, a period of intense naval activity and conflict. The HMS Royal George, a formidable 98-gun first-rate ship of the line, was part of the British Royal Navy's fleet. Her sinking, which occurred during a routine inspection, resulted in the loss of over 800 lives, making it one of the most catastrophic maritime disasters in British history. This poignant memorial, located at Portsmouth, stands as a testament to the lives lost and the sacrifice made by these sailors. The monument, which features two urns, is inscribed with the following words: "Sacred to the Memory of the Brave Men who perished on board His Majesty's Ship the Royal George, August 29th, 1782." The urns, symbolizing the passage from life to death, hold the ashes of some of the sailors who perished in the disaster. The memorial serves as a reminder of the human cost of naval warfare and the enduring bond between the men who served in the Royal Navy during this era. The image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and the solemn commemoration of the lives lost on that fateful day in 1782. The memorial continues to stand as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the crew of HMS Royal George.
