EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and power of the Japanese battleship Mikasa, a symbol of imperial might and naval innovation during the late 19th century. Circa 1895, the Mikasa was one of the most advanced steam-powered warships in the world, representing Japan's emergence as a major naval power. The Mikasa was the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and was named after the famous battle of Mikasa in 1600, where the Japanese forces led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated the invading Mongol fleet. The battleship was designed and built in Britain, reflecting Japan's growing technological capabilities and international connections. Measuring 117 meters in length and displacing over 11,000 tons, the Mikasa was armed with a formidable battery of twelve 28-centimeter guns and was protected by a thick armor belt. The ship's sleek lines and imposing presence were a testament to the ingenuity of its designers and builders. This photograph provides a glimpse into a bygone era of naval warfare, when steam-powered battleships ruled the waves and the balance of power in the world was being redefined. The Mikasa's legacy extends beyond military history, as it also represents a pivotal moment in Japan's modernization and its emergence as a global player. This image is a rare and valuable document of Japan's maritime past, captured by an unidentified photographer. The Mikasa's proud silhouette against the open sea serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the human desire to explore and conquer new frontiers.
