The Loss of HMS Victoria - A Tragic Tale of Maritime Disaster
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the heart-wrenching scene of "The Loss of HMS Victoria" an engraving by William Heysham Overend. The image takes us back to a fateful day in history, 22 July 1893, when tragedy struck the Royal Navy. In this haunting depiction, we witness the aftermath of a catastrophic collision between two mighty warships - HMS Victoria and Camperdown. As maritime accidents go, this one was particularly devastating. The collision resulted in the sinking of HMS Victoria and the loss of many lives. Amongst the chaos and despair, there were tales of heroism and survival that emerged from this dark chapter. Mr. Frederick Harding's valiant efforts saved numerous souls amidst the wreckage, while Midshipman Herbert M. Lanyon displayed unwavering courage during those harrowing moments. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder not only of human vulnerability but also highlights the bravery exhibited by both naval personnel and civilians alike during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who perished aboard HMS Victoria and pay tribute to their sacrifice. May it serve as a testament to our collective duty to honor their memory and ensure such tragedies are never repeated in our maritime endeavors.
