EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a tragic moment in naval history - the sinking of the flagship Victoria after being rammed by the Camperdown. The error and obstinacy of Admiral Tryon ultimately led to this devastating event, resulting in his own demise as he went down with his ship. By choosing to avoid a court-martial through this act, Tryon sealed his fate on that fateful day in June 1893.
The image is a poignant reminder of the consequences that can arise from poor decision-making and stubbornness, especially when it comes to matters as critical as commanding a naval vessel. The transport of these powerful ships was not without its risks, as demonstrated by this tragic incident.
As we reflect on this piece of history captured in black and white, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice shown by those who serve at sea. The legacy of Admiral Tryon and the crew of the Victoria lives on through stories such as these, serving as a cautionary tale for future generations. This print serves as a window into the past, allowing us to learn from mistakes made long ago while honoring those who lost their lives in service to their country.
