Explosion on Board HMS 'Cordelia' in 1891: A Moment Frozen in Time This haunting print depicts the aftermath of a devastating explosion that occurred on board the British corvette HMS 'Cordelia' in 1891. The exact cause of the explosion remains unknown, but it is believed to have been the result of a gun malfunction. The image, titled 'Explosion on Board HMS 'Cordelia'; the Bursting of a Gun, scene of the accident on Upper Deck', was published in 'The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' in December 1891. It captures the chaos and destruction wrought by the explosion, with debris and rubble scattered across the upper deck of the ship. The HMS 'Cordelia' was a Royal Navy warship, and the incident would have had significant implications for the British navy at the time. The print provides a glimpse into the dangerous and unpredictable nature of naval warfare during the Victorian era. The image is reminiscent of the gritty realism that characterized much of the photography and illustration of the period. The contrast between the dark, smoky background and the bright, white debris adds to the sense of drama and urgency. Despite the tragic circumstances, the print also serves as a reminder of the technological advancements of the time. The intricate detail of the guns and weaponry on display attest to the sophisticated military machinery that was being used by the British navy. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into a moment in history that has been preserved for future generations to ponder and learn from.
