The echoes of war resonated further as HMS Empress aircraft carrier sailed through these waters during its crucial role in World War I. The Parish Church in nearby Felixstowe stood as a symbol of hope and solace for those affected by conflict. Mistley Quay served as an important hub for trade and commerce, connecting Harwich to distant lands. It was here that stories were exchanged between sailors from far-flung corners of the world.
