EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring transformation of "The Great Hush Hush Ship Glorious Glorious" into an aircraft carrier. Taken in August 1921, this monochrome image showcases the early stages of her conversion at Rosyth, before being towed to Devonport for completion. The ship's remarkable journey culminated in her re-commissioning on 24 February 1930. The photograph exudes a sense of historical significance as it transports us back to the courageous era of the 1920s. As part of the hush hush fleet, this vessel played a vital role in shaping naval warfare during that time. Its sheer size and grandeur are evident even through the limited color palette. Preserved by Central News, this Europeana photography offers a glimpse into an era defined by innovation and ambition. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries beyond what was previously thought possible. As we gaze upon this striking image, we can't help but marvel at how far technology has come since then. This print not only commemorates an important milestone in naval history but also invites us to reflect on our own progress as we continue striving towards new frontiers.
