EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and power of the Imperial Russian Navy's flagship, HIMS Petr Veliki (St. Peter the Great), circa 1890. The turret ship, named after Russia's founding father and ruler, was a symbol of Russia's growing naval prowess during the late 19th century. The image showcases the ship's distinctive design, with its main armament housed in two turrets, one fore and one aft of the central bridge citadel. The bridge, located at the very top of the ship, is protected by the citadel, providing a safe haven for the ship's commanders during battle. The HIMS Petr Veliki was a transportation and transport vessel, capable of carrying troops and supplies, making it an essential asset for the Imperial Russian Navy. Its impressive size and armament were a testament to the technological advancements of the time and the resources available to the Russian Empire. The photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of naval warfare and imperial grandeur. The HIMS Petr Veliki, with its powerful presence and historical significance, continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of maritime history.
