EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the Royal Navy's submarine fleet in the Thames estuary in 1909. The Edwardian era was a time of great innovation and technological advancement, and these early submarines were at the forefront of naval warfare.
The image showcases several sleek and powerful submarines gliding through the waters of the Thames estuary, their dark hulls contrasting against the calm river backdrop. These vessels were a testament to British engineering prowess and military might during this period.
The Victorian lantern slide used to create this vintage photograph adds an air of nostalgia and historical significance to the scene. It transports us back to a time when submarines were still a relatively new concept, yet already playing a crucial role in maritime defense.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the bravery and skill of those who served aboard these early submarines. Their dedication to protecting their country's shores is evident in every detail captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection.
This stunning piece from Mary Evans Prints Online serves as both a visual treat for history enthusiasts and a poignant reminder of the Royal Navy's enduring legacy on the seas.
