EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the HM Torpedo Gunboat, Hazard, in action during the Victoria Cross action off the coast of Crete in 1898. The Dryard Class torpedo gunboat, named after the hazardous nature of her mission, played a pivotal role in this historic event, earning her place in naval history. The Hazard, a formidable vessel of the Royal Navy, was equipped with two torpedo tubes and a 12-pounder gun. In this image, she is seen engaged in battle, her gunboat counterparts in the background providing support. The seaplane in the foreground adds an intriguing element to the scene, showcasing the early integration of aviation technology into naval warfare. The Victoria Cross action marked a significant victory for the British forces, with several sailors receiving the highest military decoration for their bravery. The Hazard, under the command of Lieutenant Commander H.B.P. Mundy, was instrumental in this triumph, sinking several enemy vessels. Tragically, the Hazard's storied career came to an end in 1918 when she collided with the SS Western Australia during a transportation mission. Despite her valiant past, she was eventually decommissioned and later scrapped. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Hazard's illustrious history and the vital role she played in the annals of the Royal Navy. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as we bear witness to the courage and determination of those who served aboard this legendary gunboat.
