HMS Broke, 1914. Creator: Kirk & Sons of Cowes
HMS Broke, 1914. HMS Broke was a Faulknor-class destroyer leader of the Royal Navy, initially built for the Chilean Navy as the Almirante Lynch-class destroyer Almirante Gon i. The outbreak of the First World War led to her being purchased by the Admiralty in August 1914 shortly after her launching, and renamed HMS Broke. All of the class were present at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May to 1 June 1916 where Broke, out of control after hits from German ships, collided with the Acasta-class destroyer HMS Sparrowhawk leading to the latters loss. Broke saw action in several battles, and was resold to Chile after the conclusion of the war

EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Broke, 1914. A Remarkable Journey of a Naval Warrior". This print showcases the majestic HMS Broke, a Faulknor-class destroyer leader of the Royal Navy during World War I. Originally built for the Chilean Navy as Almirante Gon i, this vessel's fate took an unexpected turn with the outbreak of war. Purchased by the Admiralty in August 1914, shortly after her launch, she was renamed HMS Broke. This image captures her powerful presence against the backdrop of Cowes on the Isle of Wight where she was constructed by Kirk & Sons. HMS Broke played a significant role in naval warfare during WWI and participated in numerous battles. However, it is at the Battle of Jutland that her story takes an unfortunate twist. Out of control after being hit by German ships, she collided with another destroyer leading to its loss - a poignant reminder of sacrifice amidst chaos. Despite this setback, HMS Broke persevered and continued to serve valiantly until the conclusion of World War I. Afterward, she found herself returning to Chile under new ownership. This extraordinary photograph immortalizes not only a remarkable ship but also pays tribute to all those who served aboard her during one of history's most turbulent periods - truly capturing both strength and resilience within its monochrome frame.
