EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative aerial photograph captures the HMS Hermes, the world's first experimental seaplane carrier of the Royal Navy, during the early days of World War 1. Originally a refitted Highflyer-class cruiser, the HMS Hermes was a groundbreaking innovation in naval warfare, designed to provide a platform for taking off and landing seaplanes at sea. The image, taken circa 1914, showcases the ship's distinctive profile with several seaplanes positioned on its flight deck. The HMS Hermes was a vital asset in the British naval forces, offering a new dimension to reconnaissance and maritime patrols. However, her tenure was short-lived. In October 1914, the HMS Hermes was sunk by a German U-boat, marking a significant loss for the Royal Navy during the early stages of the Great War. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pioneering spirit and ingenuity of the Royal Navy during World War 1, as they sought to adapt to the evolving nature of naval warfare.
