EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph as the Japanese battleship Mikasa, once the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the site of the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, is raised from the waters of Sasebo Harbor in 1906. The Mikasa, a symbol of Japanese naval power and pride, had sunk in the harbor following the decisive Russian victory in the battle. The raising of the Mikasa was the result of months of painstaking engineering efforts by the Japanese Navy and civilian engineers. The process involved carefully removing the water from the ship's hull, repairing the damage sustained during the battle, and re-floating the vessel. The image shows a crowd of onlookers gathered on the shore, witnessing the momentous event. The Mikasa's masts and funnels can be seen emerging from the water, with a crane and other equipment visible in the foreground. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, adding to the sense of triumph and renewal. The raising of the Mikasa was a significant moment in Japanese history, marking the beginning of the country's efforts to rebuild its naval forces after the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. The ship was eventually repaired and returned to active service, serving as a training vessel and a symbol of Japanese naval power until it was decommissioned in 1947. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Japanese people in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the important role that the Mikasa played in shaping Japan's naval history.
