EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the laying down of the keel-plate for the mighty battle-ship "Queen" in Devonport Dockyard. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, is part of a private collection. The scene is filled with ceremonial grandeur as Lady Ernestine Edgcumbe, accompanied by other distinguished guests including the chief constructor and commander, participates in this momentous event. Lady Scott, Admiral Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Champness and many others are also present to witness this historic occasion. The shipbuilding process unfolds before our eyes as workers carefully lay down the keel plate that will form the backbone of this impressive vessel. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and pride as everyone involved understands the significance of their contribution to naval power. This photograph was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on March 30th, 1901. It serves as a testament to both British engineering prowess and national pride during a time when battleships were symbols of military might. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small but crucial step towards creating a formidable warship that would go on to serve its country with honor and distinction.
