EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, the launch of the screw line-of-battle ship 'Anson' at Woolwich, 1860, is beautifully captured by the skilled hand of Smyth. The historic moment took place in the presence of an estimated 5000 spectators, who gathered to witness this significant event in naval history. The band of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light Infantry played lively tunes near the stern of the ship, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Fisgard flag-ship, the Hebe, Salsette, and other vessels in the harbor were adorned with bunting, their decks crowded with onlookers. The armament of the Anson was to consist of ninety-one guns, and her machinery, a powerful 800 horse-power engine, had been manufactured by Maudslay and Co. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1860, provides a glimpse into the patriotic celebrations of the time, with the Union Jack proudly flying high on the Anson and other ships. The Thames River, teeming with rowboats and other watercraft, adds to the sense of movement and excitement. The print is a testament to the industrial might of Britain during the nineteenth century, and the continued importance of the navy in national defense. This historic moment was not only a triumph for the Royal Navy, but also a source of pride for the British people.
