EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British naval history. The Flag-Ship "Ocean" proudly salutes the Royal Squadron at the Nore, in 1844. As Queen Victoria's elegant yacht passes by this sandbank at the mouth of the Thames Estuary, a powerful cannon is fired in greeting. The image showcases the grandeur and might of the Royal Navy during this era. The flagship stands tall, its sails billowing against a dramatic sky as it fires its salute. Surrounding it are other naval warships forming an impressive escort for Her Majesty's vessel. The scene unfolds with precision and grace as Queen Victoria's yacht alters course to proceed through the channel between Long-sand and the coast. Following closely behind are steam-frigates like Eclair, along with other government steamers that make up her royal entourage. Ebenezer Landells skillfully captured this momentous event for readers of Illustrated London News in 1844. His engraving beautifully portrays not just a historical event but also highlights Britain's maritime power during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to a time when sailing ships ruled these waters and cannons echoed across estuaries. It serves as a reminder of our rich naval heritage and pays tribute to Queen Victoria - Empress of India - who reigned over Great Britain and Ireland during one of its most influential eras.
