EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the majestic HMS "Windsor Castle" in all its glory. The artist, Edwin Weedon, has masterfully captured this momentous occasion - the ship's launch into the vast ocean. As we gaze at this historical print, we are immediately drawn to the intricate details of the vessel. The grandeur of HMS "Windsor Castle" is evident in its imposing figurehead that proudly adorns its bow. This symbol of power and strength perfectly represents the might of the Royal Navy during this era. The scene is bustling with activity as troops from both navy and army gather on deck, ready for their maritime journey ahead. Guns are strategically positioned along the sides of the ship, a reminder that it was built not only for exploration but also for defense. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its publication in The Illustrated London News in September 1852. It serves as a testament to how important naval launches were to society at that time. This remarkable engraving allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in constructing such a magnificent vessel but also provides insight into an era when ships like HMS "Windsor Castle" played a vital role in protecting nations and exploring uncharted territories across oceans worldwide.
