EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the launch of HMS Poseidon, a P-class submarine, at the Barrow-in-Furness works of Vickers-Armstrong on 21st June 1929. The Poseidon, a proud addition to the British Navy, represented the cutting edge of submarine technology at the time. With sleek lines and powerful engines, she was designed to excel underwater, providing a formidable presence in the naval fleet. The launch ceremony was a grand occasion, attended by dignitaries, naval officers, and workers from the shipyard. The submarine, nestled in the water, awaited the final push that would send her on her maiden voyage. In the foreground, a group of sailors stand at attention, their expressions a mix of anticipation and pride. Behind them, a crowd of onlookers, some waving Union Jack flags, watch with excitement as the submarine begins to move under its own power for the first time. Unfortunately, the HMS Poseidon's story did not have a happy ending. On 9th June 1931, she collided with the Chinese merchant steamer SS Yuta in the Yellow Sea, resulting in the loss of the submarine and all hands on board. This tragic event marked the end of an era for the Poseidon and a sobering reminder of the risks and uncertainties of life at sea. Despite its unfortunate fate, the launch of HMS Poseidon remains an important moment in naval history, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who built and served on these underwater vessels. This photograph, with its sense of excitement and anticipation, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that ply its depths.
