HMS Adventure - a scout cruiser
Royal Navy - HMS Adventure, an Adventure-Class scout cruiser, built for the Royal Navy during the first decade of the 20th century. For two years after being completed in 1905, the ship was in reserve. She was commissioned in mid-1907 as a flotilla leader in the Home Fleet. When the First World War began in August 1914, she was assigned to patrol the English Channel. In mid-1915 Adventure was transferred to Irish waters to serve as the flagship there. In early 1918, the ship escorted convoys to Gibraltar before being transferred to the Mediterranean at the end of the war. She returned home in mid-1919 and was paid off. Adventure was sold for scrap in early 1920. Date: circa 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic HMS Adventure, an Adventure-Class scout cruiser of the Royal Navy, dating back to circa 1906. Built in the first decade of the 20th century, this historic vessel served a variety of roles throughout its active years.
After being completed in 1905, HMS Adventure spent two years in reserve before being commissioned as a flotilla leader in the Home Fleet in mid-1907. When World War I broke out in August 1914, she was tasked with patrolling the English Channel and later became the flagship in Irish waters.
In early 1918, HMS Adventure escorted convoys to Gibraltar before being transferred to Mediterranean waters at the end of the war. She returned home in mid-1919 and was eventually decommissioned and sold for scrap in early 1920.
The intricate details captured by The Peter Butt Aviation Collection truly bring this piece of naval history to life. From her sleek design to her powerful presence on the open seas, this print is a testament to the legacy of HMS Adventure and her service to the Royal Navy during a pivotal time in history.
