EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Russian outrage on the Hull fishing fleet, 22 October 1904" captures a dramatic moment in history during the Russo-Japanese War. The image depicts ships of the Russian Navy firing upon British fishing boats in the North Sea, mistaking them for Japanese torpedo boats. This incident, known as the Dogger Bank Incident, occurred when Russian warships were en route to the Far East to fight against Japan. In a tragic error, they opened fire on innocent British trawlers operating in international waters. The chaos and confusion of naval warfare are vividly portrayed through this color lithograph. The scene is illuminated by searchlights piercing through the darkness of night as battleships unleash their firepower upon unsuspecting fishermen. The sinking fishing boats add a sense of urgency and tragedy to this haunting image. This postcard from the early 20th century serves as a reminder of how misunderstandings and misjudgments can lead to devastating consequences during times of war. It also highlights the interconnectedness of nations and how conflicts thousands of miles away can impact ordinary people going about their daily lives. Through this artwork, we glimpse into a dark chapter in maritime history that underscores both human fallibility and resilience amidst adversity.
