EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative aerial photograph captures the sight of a British monitor at sea during the First World War. The monitor, a type of small, shallow-draft warship, played a crucial role in the naval warfare of this global conflict. With its distinctive, tall funnel and minimal superstructure, the monitor is easily distinguishable from other warships. The image, taken between 1914 and 1918, depicts the monitor at work on the vast expanse of the sea. Its guns are likely trained on the horizon, scanning for enemy vessels. The monitor's presence was essential for protecting merchant ships and patrols, as it could navigate shallow waters and approach the enemy closer than larger warships. The photograph offers a unique perspective, providing an aerial view of the monitor that highlights its compact design and the vastness of the sea around it. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the naval battles and strategic maneuvers that took place during the Great War. The British Royal Navy was a dominant force during the First World War, and the monitor was just one of the many types of vessels that contributed to its success. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of the bravery and determination of the sailors who served on these small but mighty warships.
