HMS Boadicea - a Boadicea-Class scout cruiser
Royal Navy - HMS Boadicea, a Boadicea-Class scout cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. She led the 1st Destroyer Flotilla from completion until the ship was transferred to the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla in mid-1912. A year later Boadicea was reassigned to the 2nd Battle Squadron and she spent the bulk of World War I with that squadron. The ship was present at, but did not fight in, the Battle of Jutland in mid-1916. Boadicea was converted into a minelayer at the end of 1917 and made three sorties to lay her mines before the end of the war. She was placed in reserve after the war and taken out of service in 1920. The ship was used for harbour service at Dartmouth until she was sold for scrap in 1926. Date: circa 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic HMS Boadicea, a Boadicea-Class scout cruiser of the Royal Navy, circa 1906. Built in the early 20th century, this formidable vessel led the 1st Destroyer Flotilla before being transferred to the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla in 1912. Throughout World War I, HMS Boadicea served with distinction as part of the 2nd Battle Squadron and was even present at the historic Battle of Jutland in 1916.
In late 1917, she underwent conversion into a minelayer and successfully carried out three missions to lay mines before the war's end. Following her wartime service, HMS Boadicea was placed in reserve and eventually decommissioned in 1920. Despite her retirement from active duty, this gallant ship continued to serve as harbour service at Dartmouth until she was ultimately sold for scrap in 1926.
The image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who sailed aboard this iconic vessel. The legacy of HMS Boadicea lives on through photographs like these, preserving her place in naval history for generations to come.
