This vintage engraving captures the majestic HMS Triumph, a formidable broadside ironclad battleship that ruled the seas during the Victorian era. Steeped in history and grandeur, this print takes us back to an age of naval supremacy. However, behind its awe-inspiring presence lies a tragic incident that forever marked the ship's legacy. On that fateful day of 21 November 1881 off Chile's coast, an explosion shook Triumph to its core. The culprit? Xerotine siccative, a drying compound also known as a patent drier. This devastating event claimed three lives and left seven others wounded. As we gaze upon this artwork, let us pay homage to those brave souls who served aboard this vessel - their sacrifice etched into every line and detail of this engraving.

The London Illustrated News featured this illustration in 1882, immortalizing both Triumph's glory and tragedy within its pages. Today, it stands as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who have served in the Royal Navy. Let Duncan1890's captivating print transport you back to an era where battleships like HMS Triumph reigned supreme on tumultuous waters – forever preserving their place in naval lore.
