EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Sailor in Hat of the Unlucky H.M.S. Terrible, Late 1890s. This evocative photograph captures the image of a British sailor proudly wearing the distinctive handlebar transport hat of H.M.S. Terrible, a Royal Navy vessel launched in 1895. The ship, with its unfortunate name, was part of the Royal Sovereign-class of pre-dreadnought battleships, a significant addition to the British naval fleet during the late 19th century and the early 20th. The sailor in the photograph wears a late-era uniform, complete with a thick beard and a well-groomed moustache, typical of the era. The hat, with its distinctive shape and insignia, is a clear indication of his affiliation with the H.M.S. Terrible. The handlebar transport hat, also known as a "cap of maintenance," was designed to protect sailors from the sun and rain while they were working on the deck. The H.M.S. Terrible served in the Royal Navy for over two decades, participating in various naval operations and fleet reviews. Despite its name, the ship was a formidable vessel, carrying a main armament of twelve 12-inch guns and a secondary armament of twelve 6-inch guns. The ship's unfortunate name, however, became the subject of many jokes and stories among sailors and the public. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich naval history of the late 19th century and the early 20th, a time when the British Royal Navy was at the forefront of global maritime power. The sailor in the photograph, with his proud bearing and distinctive hat, embodies the spirit of the Royal Navy and the seafaring tradition that defined the era. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and evocative photograph for historical research and display. It is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime history, naval history, or social history of the late 19th century.
