EDITORS COMMENTS
Aftermath of World War One! 1919: A poignant illustration capturing the first phase of the post-war naval disarmament, as obsolete British battleships lie abandoned and resigned to their fate in the northern seas. Having witnessed the intense battles of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, these warships, under the command of Lord Beatty, now face an uncertain future. As the world adjusts to the aftermath of the First Great War, holiday-makers and seaside residents gather to feast their curious eyes on these once formidable vessels. The scene is a stark contrast to the bleak base where these warships had stood guard, watching for the enemy. Lord Fisher, the First Sea Lord, had initiated the policy to scrap these obsolete warships, marking the beginning of the end for these grand symbols of Britain's naval power. The shipbreakers, with their yards and cranes, were now the new guardians of the sea, dismantling the remnants of a bygone era. This evocative image, depicting the aftermath of the war in the northern seas, serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of military might and the inexorable passage of time. The era of these magnificent battleships had come to an end, and a new chapter in maritime history was about to begin.
