EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Empress: A British Naval Aviation Pioneer in the First World War This evocative photograph captures the HMS Empress, a historic British Royal Navy vessel that played a pivotal role in the early days of naval aviation during the First World War. Originally launched as a cross-channel steamer in 1907, the HMS Empress was converted into an aircraft carrier in 1914, making it one of the first ships of its kind in the world. During the early stages of the war, the HMS Empress was based at Harwich, in the North Sea, where it provided crucial support to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) by carrying and deploying seaplanes. Later, it was relocated to Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland, to protect the Irish Sea against German U-boat attacks. In 1916, the HMS Empress was transferred to the Mediterranean, where it continued its vital role in supporting naval aviation operations. The ship's unique design and conversion allowed it to accommodate and launch seaplanes, providing the Royal Navy with a valuable asset in its efforts to maintain control of the seas during the Great War. After the war, the HMS Empress returned to its original owners and was eventually sold for scrap in 1920. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the HMS Empress's groundbreaking role in the history of naval aviation and the British Royal Navy's commitment to innovation during the First World War.
