EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment as a brave woman takes a plunge into the chilly waters from the diving platform of HMS Furious during the First World War. The backdrop to this scene is the impressive silhouette of the modified Courageous-class aircraft carrier, which served as a vital asset for the Royal Navy during both World Wars. Launched in 1916, HMS Furious was originally designed as a cruiser but was later converted into an aircraft carrier, making it one of the earliest and most significant vessels of its kind. The woman's daring dive serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served aboard this iconic warship. With the roar of aircraft engines in the background and the vast expanse of the sea stretching out before her, this image encapsulates the spirit of adventure, innovation, and determination that characterized the British naval forces during the First World War. HMS Furious was eventually scrapped in 1948, but her legacy as a pioneering aircraft carrier lives on.
