EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the HMS New Zealand, an Indefatigable-class battlecruiser, taking part in the historic Battle of Jutland during the First World War. Launched in 1911 as a gift from the New Zealand government, this British battlecruiser was the first Royal Navy ship to bear the name 'New Zealand'. The ship's impressive size and powerful presence are on full display in this image, as she cuts through the rough seas with determination. The Battle of Jutland, fought on 31 May and 1 June 1916, was the largest naval battle of the First World War and one of the last major engagements between the British Royal Navy and the German High Seas Fleet. The battle took place in the North Sea, and the HMS New Zealand played a crucial role in the battle, engaging the German fleet with her formidable guns. In this photograph, the HMS New Zealand is seen amidst the chaos of the battle, with plumes of smoke rising from the water around her. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the intense and dangerous conditions that the sailors on both sides faced during this pivotal moment in world history. The HMS New Zealand served valiantly in the Royal Navy until her decommissioning in 1922. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the sailors who manned this magnificent vessel during the Great War.
