EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a remarkable scene from the early days of the First World War. The image depicts HMS Implacable, a formidable Royal Navy warship, anchored in Port Said, Egypt, in November 1915. The backdrop of the photograph is dominated by the imposing figure of a captured German dry dock, a testament to the naval superiority of the Allied forces. The HMS Implacable, a pre-dreadnought battleship launched in 1901, played a significant role in the Mediterranean during the First World War. Her presence in Port Said was crucial in protecting the Suez Canal, a vital strategic waterway connecting Europe to its colonies in Asia. The photograph exudes an Edwardian and Victorian charm, with the smoke rising from the funnels of the HMS Implacable adding a sense of industry and activity. The contrast between the British warship and the German dry dock, now under Allied control, symbolizes the shifting tides of the war. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Royal Navy during the First World War, a time when naval power played a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of the conflict. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history, maritime history, or the history of the First World War.
