EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the HMS Arethusa, a British light cruiser launched in 1913, at sea during the early years of the First World War. The Arethusa served valiantly in various locations, including the Mediterranean and the North Sea, before encountering misfortune off the coast of Felixstowe in 1916. In this image, the Arethusa is seen steaming proudly with a flotilla of Harwich destroyers, their silhouettes stark against the backdrop of the vast, stormy sea. The date of the photograph is 1914, a year marked by intense naval activity as the Allied forces sought to protect their shores from the encroaching German fleet. The HMS Arethusa, with its distinctive funnel and sleek lines, cuts through the waves with determination and grace, a testament to the courage and resilience of the British Navy during wartime. This powerful image transports us back to a time of global conflict and maritime warfare, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served on the ships of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
