Battleships Lying in Portsmouth Harbour: A Snapshot of History and Heroism This evocative photograph captures the tranquil scene of battleships anchored in Portsmouth Harbour during the early 20th century. The image, taken around the time of the First World War, showcases the majestic presence of these naval giants that once guarded the shores of Great Britain. Among the many ships in the harbour, the battleship HMS Dreadnought stands out prominently. Launched in 1906, it revolutionized naval warfare with its advanced features and marked the beginning of a new era in naval design. In the foreground, we find Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, taking a moment to sketch the scene. Born in September 1889, Gibson served his country bravely during the First World War. His keen interest in drawing is evident in this snapshot, which not only captures the historical significance of the battleships but also the personal connection of a soldier to his surroundings. The photograph is a testament to the rich naval history of Portsmouth and the heroism of the men and women who served during the Great War. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur of the battleships and the courage of those who manned them. This image is an essential addition to any collection of historical, topographical, or naval photographs, providing a unique perspective on a pivotal period in world history.
