EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brave bluejackets of the torpedo boat destroyer HMS Sturgeon in 1896. Created by Gregory & Co, this artwork showcases a significant moment in naval history. Launched just two years prior, the Sturgeon was proudly attached to the Channel Squadron, ready for duty. The focal point of this image is the imposing 12 pound quick firing gun mounted above the conning tower as the destroyer's bow chaser. The crew members are dressed in their distinctive naval uniforms, donning hoods and coats to protect themselves from harsh sea winds. One can sense their camaraderie and dedication as they stand together on deck. The Victorian era atmosphere is palpable with every detail meticulously captured – from their duffel coats to lifebelts worn around their waists. These men represent not only a proud tradition but also embody courage and resilience amidst times of war. As we gaze upon this portrait frozen in time, we are transported back to an age when ships ruled vast oceans and warfare relied heavily on naval power. This print serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who served aboard these formidable warships. Gregory & Co's artistry has immortalized these sailors' bravery forever, allowing us to appreciate their sacrifice and honor their memory over a century later.
