EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the momentous launch of the battleship Mikasa is captured at Barrow-in-Furness, England, in the year 1900. The Mikasa, a Japanese man-of-war and the largest battleship in the world at the time, is seen gracefully sliding into the water for the first time, surrounded by a flotilla of smaller vessels. The launch marked a significant milestone in Japanese naval history, as the country was rapidly modernizing its military forces in response to the growing international tensions and imperialist expansion of European powers. The Mikasa was built under the supervision of British shipbuilders, reflecting the global interconnectedness of the late 19th century. The battleship was named after the ancient Japanese province of Mikasa and was commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1902. It went on to serve in the Russo-Japanese War, where it proved its worth in several engagements, including the Battle of Tsushima. The launch of the Mikasa was a proud moment for the people of Japan, symbolizing their determination to build a strong and modern military capable of defending their nation's interests on the global stage. Today, the Mikasa is preserved as a museum ship in Yokosuka, Japan, serving as a reminder of the country's rich naval history and its journey towards becoming a major world power.
