EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the late 19th century, the Torpedo Fleet of the Particular Service Squadron is depicted in the process of throwing out torpedo nets to protect their ships during naval maneuvers in Bantry Bay, Ireland. Dating back to 1885, this was the first such event of its kind, marking an important milestone in the development of naval warfare. The squadron, part of the Armed Services Forces, is seen deploying the nets, typically made of galvanised iron, from their boats. The ships in the background, including the prominent Sultan, are also engaged in the maneuvers, ensuring their readiness for potential threats. The Torpedo Squadrons, a significant innovation in naval warfare, were instrumental in revolutionizing naval tactics by introducing the use of torpedoes as a powerful offensive weapon. This photograph, taken during the naval maneuvers held between June and July 1885, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Victorian era's naval capabilities and the strategic preparations that shaped the 19th century's maritime landscape.
