EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a British cruiser proudly sails off the coast of Wei-Hai-Wei, China, during the 1910s. The cruiser, identified as a Monmouth-class armoured cruiser, is believed to be HMS Suffolk based on its distinctive silhouette and the timeframe. The Monmouth class was a significant part of the Royal Navy's cruiser fleet during the early 20th century, known for their powerful armament and impressive speed. The tranquil waters of the East China Sea are dotted with the masts and sails of other ships, adding to the bustling maritime scene. In the background, the buildings and chimneys of the Wei-Hai-Wei dry dock are visible, indicating the presence of a busy port. The dockyard was a crucial transportation hub during this era, serving as a vital link between China and the rest of the world. The British presence in Wei-Hai-Wei was significant during this time, as the region was a major source of raw materials, particularly coal, for the British industrial economy. The British cruiser's visit to the port underscores the importance of naval power in maintaining and protecting the interests of the British Empire during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of the East China Sea and the role that China played in the global economy during this period. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the sea served as a vital conduit for trade and transportation, and naval power was a key factor in shaping international relations. Mary Evans / Pharcide's photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of the British Navy and its role in the Far East during the 1910s. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime history or naval photography.
