Royal George Sinks: A Tragic Turn of Events in August 1782 This evocative image captures the aftermath of a devastating maritime disaster that occurred on August 29, 1782, in the waters of Spithead, near Portsmouth. The Royal George, a fine and mighty warship of her time, is shown in a state of tragic demise, having keeled over and sunk, taking an estimated 600 men with her. The Royal George, a 98-gun first-rate ship of the line, was undergoing refitting at the time. The transport of men and supplies to and from the ship was a common sight in the busy harbor of Portsmouth. However, on this fateful day, as the ship was being loaded with provisions and men, a sudden and unexpected disaster struck. The exact cause of the sinking remains unclear, but it is believed that the ship took on water too quickly due to a combination of factors, including a faulty pump and the weight of the cargo being loaded on board. The disaster occurred in broad daylight, and the scene that unfolded was one of chaos and despair. The loss of the Royal George was a significant blow to the British Navy, which was already facing challenges on multiple fronts during the American Revolutionary War. The ship was a valuable asset, and the lives lost were a tragic reminder of the risks and dangers faced by those who served in the navy. This historical photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a poignant glimpse into a moment in time that has been etched into maritime history. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and caution in the face of the unpredictable forces of nature and the sea.
