EDITORS COMMENTS
"HMS Goliath: A Monument to Naval History and Tragedy This evocative photograph captures the majestic HMS Goliath, a Canopus Class battleship launched in 1898 and weighing an impressive 12,950 tons. The image, taken in 1907, showcases the ship's grandeur and the intricate details of her design. With her imposing presence, the HMS Goliath was a formidable addition to the British Royal Navy. However, the history of this battleship is not without tragedy. In May 1915, during the Dardanelles Campaign, the HMS Goliath met her end off the coast of Cape Helles. The cause of her sinking remains a subject of debate, with some sources attributing it to a mine or a torpedo, while others suggest it was due to a series of unfortunate events and human error. Regardless of the cause, the loss of the HMS Goliath was a significant one, with most of her crew perishing in the waters of the Aegean Sea. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich naval history of the past and the sacrifices made by those who served on the HMS Goliath. The photograph, taken nearly five years before her tragic demise, stands as a testament to the ship's former glory and the legacy she left behind. The HMS Goliath's story is a reminder of the complexities and uncertainties of war, and the enduring importance of remembering the past."
