EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic H.M.S. Cressy, lead ship of the Royal Navy's Cressy class of armoured cruisers. Launched in December 1899, the Cressy represented the pinnacle of British naval technology at the turn of the century. With her powerful armament and advanced armour plating, she was a formidable presence on the high seas. However, the tranquility of the seas that once surrounded the Cressy was shattered on 22 September 1914, as the First World War reached the shores of Europe. The Cressy, along with her sister ships, the Aboukir and the Hogue, were torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-9, in a tragic and unexpected turn of events. The sinking of the Cressy and her sister ships marked a significant moment in the history of naval warfare. It was the first time that submarines had sunk capital ships of the Royal Navy, and it served as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of warfare in the 20th century. This photograph, taken in 1914, is a poignant reminder of the H.M.S. Cressy's proud history and her tragic end. The image of the ship, with its sails raised and flags flying, stands as a testament to the courage and determination of the sailors who served on her. The Cressy may have been lost to the ravages of war, but her legacy lives on as an important chapter in the annals of naval history.
