EDITORS COMMENTS
RMS Orvieto: A Historic Vessel of the Orient Line in Wartime This evocative photograph captures the RMS Orvieto, a historic steamer of the Orient Line, during a period of transformation from a peacetime passenger ship to a naval vessel during the First World War. Circa 1910, the Orvieto is shown in full sail, its grandeur and elegance evident in the ornate details of its smokestacks and the intricate lines of its hull. However, the tranquility of this image belies the tumultuous history that lay ahead for the RMS Orvieto. With the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, the ship was requisitioned by the British Navy for military service. Initially used as a troop ship, the Orvieto transported soldiers and supplies to the front lines. Later, the Orvieto was converted into an armed merchant cruiser and mine-layer. Equipped with guns and mines, the ship played a crucial role in protecting Allied shipping lanes from enemy attacks. The vessel's size and speed made it an effective asset in the naval fleet, and it saw action in several key battles. Despite the challenges of wartime, the RMS Orvieto continued to serve with distinction. Its service record is a testament to the versatility and resilience of the Orient Line's historic fleet. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's rich history and the pivotal role it played during a time of global conflict.
