EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the ILN Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, taken in 1912, we witness the Navy and local community coming together to support Portsmouth during the coal crisis. The national coal strike, which lasted for 37 days, saw coal miners across the United Kingdom protesting for a minimum wage. The impact of the strike was felt acutely in Portsmouth, where the lack of coal threatened the city's economy and the operations of the Royal Navy. In this scene at Cribb in Portsmouth, men and sailors are seen working together to convey coal from the floating coal depot. Warships loom large on either side of the huge coal pit, their presence a testament to the importance of the coal supply to the military. The Navy's involvement in the coal crisis was significant, with many ships being used to transport coal from other ports to Portsmouth. The coal crisis was a pivotal moment in British history, leading to the first minimum wage being established through the Coal Mines Act. The image captures the spirit of community and cooperation during a time of crisis, with the Navy and local residents working together to keep Portsmouth functioning.
