EDITORS COMMENTS
On Board The Ark - on watch. . . c1940, (1942). This print captures a moment in history aboard the British Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal during World War II. Designed to carry a multitude of aircraft, this formidable warship played a crucial role in various operations throughout the war. In this particular image, we see one of the Arks' anti-aircraft direction and range-finders manned by a dedicated sailor. With intense focus and unwavering determination, he stands as a symbol of bravery and resilience amidst the chaos of war. HMS Ark Royal was involved in significant events such as the first aerial and U-boat kills of the war off Norway, searching for the notorious German battleship Bismarck, and participating in vital Malta Convoys. However, tragedy struck when she was torpedoed by a German submarine on 13 November 1941. Despite her sinking the following day, only one crew member lost their life out of 1,488. This remarkable photograph is part of an official publication titled 'Ark Royal, ' released by His Majesty's Stationery Office in London during 1942. Its black-and-white composition adds depth to its historical significance while showcasing both technology and human courage intertwined within naval warfare. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a poignant reminder of those who served onboard HMS Ark Royal and all those who fought valiantly during World War II.
