Cadets Ceremony Deck Officers Presentation Alfieri
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the early 20th century aboard the majestic Arethusa training ship. The image showcases a momentous ceremony where Commander C. W. Bower, the commanding officer of Arethusa, is seen presenting a sword to John Stonor, an esteemed old boy of Arethusa who has achieved the prestigious rank of Warrant Officer in the Royal Navy. The deck of the ship serves as a backdrop for this significant event, with cadets and officers standing witness to this remarkable achievement. The monochrome tones add depth and nostalgia to the scene, evoking a sense of history and tradition. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a simple presentation. It symbolizes dedication, hard work, and perseverance - qualities that both Commander Bower and Warrant Officer Stonor embody. Their commitment to their respective roles within the naval forces is honored through this ceremonial act. Alfieri's photography skillfully captures not only these individuals but also highlights their connection with Arethusa - an institution that molds young men into accomplished sailors. This print stands as a testament to camaraderie between past and present generations who have walked on those very decks. Through Europeana Photography's collection comes yet another powerful image that encapsulates history while igniting our imagination about life at sea during times gone by.
