Our Navy - Christening a Ship before she is Launched
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration by the renowned British artist Charles John De Lacy, showcasing the traditional and ceremonial event of christening a new Navy ship before its launch in the early 1910s. The front cover image, published by Our Navy, transports us back in time to an era of maritime grandeur and national pride. De Lacy's masterful brushstrokes depict a bustling dockyard scene, where a crowd of onlookers, including naval officers, dignitaries, and local residents, gather to witness the momentous occasion. The ship, still in its dry dock, is adorned with intricate decorations and banners, while the christening lady, dressed in an elegant gown and holding a large bottle of champagne, stands proudly beside it. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation, as the ship's sponsor prepares to break the bottle against the ship's hull, ensuring a safe and prosperous journey for the vessel and her crew. The fleet of ships in the background, with their sails hoisted and flags flying high, add to the sense of naval might and transport capabilities. This illustration is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British Navy, and the importance of the christening ceremony in ensuring the success and protection of the nation's maritime interests. The intricate details, from the ornate decorations to the expressions on the faces of the onlookers, make this a truly captivating and evocative piece of maritime art.
