EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cruise of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers" takes us back to a momentous Sunday morning in the 19th century. The image showcases a scene aboard the schooner "Hornet" as it sails through turbulent waters. With great attention to detail, the English School artist skillfully captures various activities taking place on deck. In this lively depiction, we witness sailors heaving and hoisting sails while others diligently stow away equipment. Mark Seven is being rung, signaling an important event or perhaps a change in course. Divisions of royal naval artillery volunteers can be seen scattered across the ship's surface, each engaged in their assigned tasks. The maritime atmosphere is palpable; one can almost feel the salty breeze and hear the crashing waves against the hull. As midnight approaches during this homeward-bound cruise from Queenstown to Swansea, a gale threatens to challenge these brave men and women serving in both navy and army roles. Amidst all this action, one cannot help but notice that even on board a vessel at sea, faith remains steadfast. A church flag proudly flutters atop one mast as if offering protection and guidance throughout their journey. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images provides us with an intriguing glimpse into life at sea for those who served in Britain's armed forces during this era. It serves as a testament to their dedication and resilience amidst challenging conditions - truly capturing history within its intricate details.
