1889 Galley Naval Manoeuvres Spithead Cooks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the year 1889, amidst the hustle and bustle of a naval manoeuvre at Spithead. The image captures a pivotal moment as ships prepare to set sail, their moorings being released one by one. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement as sailors scurry about, ensuring everything is in order for their upcoming voyage. In this particular frame, our attention is drawn towards an unexpected scene: the cooks at the galley. Amidst all the action happening on deck, these unsung heroes diligently carry out their duties below. Clad in white aprons and hats, they work tirelessly to nourish the crew members who will soon embark on this grand naval exercise. The galley itself exudes warmth and efficiency; pots simmering over open flames emit tantalizing aromas that waft through every corner of this floating vessel. It's evident that these skilled culinary artists take great pride in providing sustenance for those who serve at sea. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into life aboard a naval ship during manoeuvres but also serves as a reminder of the often-overlooked roles played by individuals behind-the-scenes. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the bravery of those setting sail and the dedication of those working tirelessly to ensure their well-being throughout their journey.
