EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in naval history - the launch of the magnificent battle-ship "Prince George" at Portsmouth Dockyard. The date was 22 August, and it was an occasion that drew great attention and excitement. The Duchess of York herself had the honor of christening this mighty vessel, her presence adding a touch of regal elegance to the ceremony. With grace and poise, she smashed a bottle against the ship's hull, marking its official entry into service. Surrounded by an array of distinguished guests, including members of royalty and high-ranking military officials, this launch was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as onlookers eagerly awaited the grand unveiling. The "Prince George" stood tall and proud amidst all the pomp and circumstance. Its sleek design showcased both power and beauty - a true testament to British engineering prowess. As cannons fired salutes into the air, cheers erupted from the crowd. This new addition to Britain's naval fleet symbolized strength, innovation, and readiness for any future conflicts that may arise. This engraving immortalizes not only a significant moment in maritime history but also highlights the importance placed on naval defense during this era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's commitment to maintaining its position as a dominant force on international waters.
