This print by G.H. Davis, titled 'The Ship-building Record of 1912,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the maritime world of a bygone era. Dated 1913, this graphic illustration showcases an impressive collection of ships under construction in the United Kingdom and vessels being built overseas between the years 1909 and 1912. The meticulously detailed drawing reveals the escalating numbers, sizes, and weights of these vessels, both in the British navy and abroad. The British Isles section of the illustration highlights the country's impressive shipbuilding capabilities during this period. The illustration includes various types of ships, ranging from small merchant vessels to large and heavy warships, all undergoing construction in British shipyards. The pre-war era warships, with their imposing presence and substantial tonnage, are particularly noteworthy. On the other hand, the overseas section of the illustration showcases the global shipbuilding scene, with vessels being built in various parts of the world. The growing size and weight of these vessels are evident, as the tonnage figures increase substantially. The intricate details of the ships' designs, from their hulls to their rigging, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the shipbuilders of the time. The sphere of maritime history is brought to life through this and historically significant illustration by G.H. Davis.
