EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history at the Royal Navy College in 1937. The image showcases a group of cadets engaged in the art of celestial navigation, shooting the sun with their sextants. This practice was crucial for sailors to determine their position at sea. The young men, dressed smartly in their naval uniforms, stand on the deck of a warship as they carefully measure the angle between the horizon and the sun using their instruments. Their focused expressions reveal both concentration and determination as they master this essential skill. The print is part of "The Navy" series produced by Senior Service Cigarettes during that era. It serves as a testament to Britain's maritime heritage and its commitment to excellence in naval training. Beyond its historical significance, this image also highlights the intersection between science and warfare. In an age where technology was rapidly advancing, traditional methods like celestial navigation were still indispensable tools for seafarers. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of these brave men who dedicated themselves to serving their country on board warships amidst vast oceans. Their unwavering dedication ensured safe passage through treacherous waters while defending national interests. This print from 1937 allows us to peer into an important chapter of British naval history while appreciating both its aesthetic beauty and educational value.
