EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing vintage photograph captures a unique moment in maritime history, as the whaler Ramna is seen stranded on the hull of the German Battle Cruiser Moltke in Scapa Flow, Orkney, on 23rd June 1919. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the aftermath of the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet during the final days of World War I. The Ramna, a small whaling vessel, had likely been in the area to support the British naval effort by providing fresh meat and other supplies. However, as the German fleet, anchored in Scapa Flow for internment, began to sink their own ships to prevent them from falling into British hands, the Ramna was unfortunately caught in the chaos. The image shows the whaler resting precariously on the Moltke's hull, a testament to the tumultuous events that unfolded that day. The photograph, taken in the aftermath of World War I, evokes a sense of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with the traditional whaling vessel and the imposing warship juxtaposed against the backdrop of the Scottish landscape. The use of a lantern slide further adds to the nostalgic feel, transporting us back in time to witness this remarkable scene. The Ramna's fate on the Moltke is a fascinating reminder of the complex interplay between war and commerce during this period, as well as the intriguing history of Scapa Flow and its role in maritime conflicts. This image is a must-have for history enthusiasts, maritime buffs, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of our past.
