EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the launching of the Turkish Battleship Reshadieh at Vickers Works in Barrow-on-Furness, England, in September 1913. The hull of the battleship, almost complete at the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, was seized by the British Government and added to the Royal Navy as HMS Erin. The Reshadieh, a proud symbol of Turkey's naval ambitions, had embarked on its voyage to the United Kingdom for completion when war broke out. The seizure of the battleship marked a significant turn of events in the early stages of the conflict. Despite being added to the Royal Navy, the Reshadieh, later renamed Erin, saw no action during the early years of the war. However, it made its mark during the Battle of Jutland in 1916, where it fought valiantly without any damage or casualties. After the war, the Erin was placed in reserve and eventually sold for scrapping in late 1922. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the battleship, which began its life as a symbol of Turkish pride and ended up serving in the Royal Navy during a time of global conflict. The launch of the Turkish Battleship Reshadieh at Vickers Works in Barrow-on-Furness is an important moment in maritime history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the launch, as well as the grandeur and scale of the battleship itself. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when the world was on the brink of change, and the outcome of the war hung in the balance.
