EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures the historic moment of the launch of the Chilean destroyer Almirante Condell on January 27,1913. The Almirante Condell was one of six destroyers ordered by the Chilean Navy and built in Cowes, Isle of Wight by J. Samuel White shipbuilders as part of their esteemed Almirante Lynch class. However, fate intervened during World War I when four destroyers from this class were requisitioned by the Royal Navy for use in naval operations. Fortunately, Almirante Condell was among the two vessels that were delivered directly to the Chilean Navy. The photograph showcases a bow view perspective of this magnificent warship adorned with its proud Chilean flag fluttering in the wind. The image exudes a sense of strength and power as it highlights both historical significance and technological advancements in naval warfare during that era. Captured through monochrome lens by Arthur Henry Kirk or Edgar WP Kirk (the exact photographer is not specified), this remarkable print transports us back to a time when sailboats coexisted with modern warships like Almirante Condell. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess while reminding us of an important chapter in world history - World War I. With its rich historical context and aesthetic appeal, this print is sure to captivate enthusiasts interested in maritime heritage and military history alike.
