EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Daffodil IV: Triumphant Return from the Zeebrugge Raid, April 1918 This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumphant return for HMS Daffodil IV as she sailed into the Mersey estuary on 1st April 1918, following the daring Zeebrugge Raid. The historic event took place on 23rd April 1918, when the British Royal Navy, led by the old cruiser HMS Vindictive, launched a bold attack on the key Belgian port of Bruges-Zeebrugge. Two Mersey ferries, HMS Daffodil IV and Iris II, played a crucial role in the operation. The ferries, converted into armed raiders, were tasked with creating a diversion by attacking the German-occupied harbour defences. The audacious attack was a significant blow to the German forces, disrupting their supply lines and boosting morale for the Allied forces during World War I. In this photograph, HMS Daffodil IV, proudly flies the Union Jack as she makes her way back to Liverpool, having successfully completed her mission. The image serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the British sailors involved in the Zeebrugge Raid, a pivotal moment in the history of the First World War at sea. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the Royal Navy during the Great War. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that captures the spirit of triumph and resilience in the face of adversity.
