EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide depicts the HMS Britannia and Hindostan training ships anchored at Dartmouth during World War I. The image transports us back in time to an era of maritime tradition and naval prowess. The HMS Britannia, a magnificent three-masted sailing ship, served as the Royal Naval College's training vessel from 1895 to 1916. The Hindostan, a former Royal Indian Navy ship, was acquired by the Royal Navy in 1914 and used as a training vessel until 1920. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian and Victorian eras, with sailors in their crisp white uniforms going about their daily routines on deck. The ships' grandeur and the picturesque backdrop of Dartmouth's coastline create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the ongoing war. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of the sailors who trained on these ships, instilling discipline, teamwork, and seamanship that would serve them well in the battles to come. The HMS Britannia and Hindostan training ships at Dartmouth represent a significant chapter in the history of the Royal Navy during World War I. This lantern slide is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of England and the sacrifices made by the sailors who served on these ships. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique and valuable insight into the past.
