Troopships have played a vital role in history, transporting soldiers to various destinations during times of conflict and war. From the Olympic's arrival at Halifax during World War I to Lord Roberts embarking for South Africa on board the "Dunottar Castle" in Southampton, these vessels have witnessed significant moments in military history. Intriguingly, they were not just ordinary ships but also canvases for artistic expression. Dazzle painting adorned their exteriors, creating mesmerizing patterns that confused enemy submarines and protected those on board. Long live the army. A vibrant color lithograph captures the spirit of these brave men as they embark on their journey. The images captured by artists aboard troopships provide glimpses into life onboard. A hand-coloured etching showcases Christmas dinner being enjoyed by British troops bound for England from India in 1871, reminding us that even amidst war, camaraderie and festive cheer prevailed. Departure scenes were often depicted with great detail - an engraving shows troops leaving Gravesend for India while another portrays sketches made en route to the Zulu War. The latter engraving captures soldiers bidding farewell at Victoria Docks before boarding troop-ships like the Dublin Castle. Not limited to British expeditions alone, French soldiers are also seen disembarking from a ship in an evocative engraving. Troopship embarkations were not exclusive to Europe either; an engraving depicts troops departing from Marseilles' New Port for the East. One lithograph titled "Off to Ashanti" showcases soldiers aboard the "Loanda, " sailing down Channel towards their destination. Soldiers decked out with equipment and determination demonstrate their readiness for action. Troopships served as lifelines connecting nations during times of conflict. These vessels carried more than just soldiers; they transported hope, bravery, and resilience across vast oceans. Their stories continue to inspire generations as we reflect upon their crucial role in shaping history.
