Captain Percy Scott
Captain Percy Scott. Part of Box 104 Boswell collection.Sir Percy Moreton Scott, 1st Baronet KCB KCVO LL.D (10 July 1853 18 October 1924) was a British Royal Navy officer and a pioneer in modern naval gunnery. During his career he proved to be an engineer and problem solver of some considerable foresight, ingenuity and tenacity. He did not, however, endear himself to the Navy establishment for his regular outspoken criticism of the Navys conservatism and resistance to change and this undoubtedly slowed the acceptance of his most important ideas, notably the introduction of directed firing. In spite of this, his vision proved correct most of the time and he rose to the rank of admiral and amongst other honours was made baronet, a hereditary title. Date: circa 1900s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sir Percy Moreton Scott, KCB, KCVO, LL.D (1853-1924), a British Royal Navy officer and a pioneer in modern naval gunnery, in an undated image from the early 1900s. Born on July 10, 1853, Scott distinguished himself as a visionary and problem solver throughout his naval career. His innovative ideas and foresight in the field of naval engineering and gunnery were not always welcomed by the Navy establishment due to their resistance to change. Despite his outspoken criticism of the Navy's conservatism, Scott's ideas proved to be largely correct. He rose through the ranks to become an admiral and was recognized with numerous honors, including a hereditary title as a baronet. Scott's most significant contribution to naval warfare was his advocacy for directed firing, a technique that allowed guns to be aimed more accurately at the enemy. Although this innovation was initially met with resistance, it eventually became a standard practice in the Royal Navy. Sir Percy Moreton Scott's legacy as a trailblazer in modern naval gunnery endures, and this photograph serves as a testament to his groundbreaking contributions to the field. The image captures the determined and innovative spirit of a man who, despite facing opposition, remained steadfast in his pursuit of progress for the Royal Navy.
