"HMS Alexandra: A Historic British Warship in Action" Step aboard the HMS Alexandra, a legendary vessel that played a significant role in various events throughout history. From its launch at Chatham Dockyard to its involvement in the Bombardment of Alexandria, this ship has witnessed it all. In the lithograph "Ships of the British Navy, " we catch a glimpse of the majestic fleet to which HMS Alexandra belonged. These ships were not merely vessels; they represented Britain's naval might and prowess on the high seas. During the Bombardment of Alexandria, depicted in an engraving, HMS Alexandra fearlessly sailed into battle. The ship's main battery, showcased portside during action, unleashed its firepower against enemy batteries with unwavering determination. But this warship was not limited to combat alone. In another engraving titled "British Squadron off Tuzla, " we see HMS Alexandra engaged in shipping beef—a testament to its versatility and importance beyond warfare. Tragedy struck when news broke about the passing of two notable figures associated with this illustrious vessel. The late Duke of Edinburgh commanded HMS Alexandra until his final days, as shown by an engraving depicting her flying the Royal Ensign at half-mast as a mark of respect. Similarly poignant is another lithograph capturing a memorial service held onboard for the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha—his last command being none other than HMS Alexandra. This solemn event pays tribute to their legacies and honors their contributions to maritime history. Away from conflict and mourning lies lighter moments captured within these artworks. An engraving showcasing aquatic sports at Port Said reminds us that life onboard wasn't always filled with tension but also provided opportunities for leisure and camaraderie among crew members. The image titled "The War in Egypt" encapsulates both turmoil and resilience as it portrays HMS Alexandra amidst chaotic scenes during battle—an enduring symbol of bravery amid adversity.
