Steam and Splendor - The Reine Hortense Leaves Portsmouth Harbour
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph from the Illustrated London News in 1865, we witness a moment of grandeur as the French ship Reine Hortense departs Portsmouth Harbour. This majestic vessel is accompanied by another paddle-wheel steamer, Enchantress, carrying esteemed Lords of the Admiralty on board. The occasion marks the return of Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of Marine for France.
As a salute to this momentous event, nineteen guns are fired from Blackhouse Fort in a display of pomp and circumstance. Crowds gather along the harbour's edge, their faces aglow with excitement as they watch these mighty ships make their way out into the open sea. The Reine Hortense stands tall, its sails billowing in the wind as it disappears into the distance.
This photograph is not only a testament to maritime power and international relations but also an evocative snapshot of life during this pivotal moment in history. It invites us to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and emotions that defined 19th-century naval festivals like no other.
