In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the forties, a time of great significance for the British Navy. The image captures the awe-inspiring moment of the launch of HMS Eagle, a majestic aircraft carrier that would soon become an emblem of naval power. The focal point of this historic event is none other than Princess Elizabeth herself, who would later ascend to the throne as Queen Elizabeth II. With grace and poise befitting her future role as monarch, she christens the ship with a bottle of champagne, symbolizing its official entry into service. Surrounded by an atmosphere charged with anticipation and excitement, onlookers gather in Belfast to witness this monumental occasion. Shipbuilding was at its peak during these years, and Northern Ireland played a crucial role in constructing vessels that would safeguard Britain's interests across seas. This photograph not only immortalizes an important milestone in naval history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The sheer size and grandeur of HMS Eagle remind us of our capacity for innovation and progress. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it evokes feelings of pride and admiration for those who contributed their skills towards building such magnificent ships. It reminds us that behind every vessel lies countless hours of hard work by dedicated individuals committed to protecting our shores. Let us cherish this snapshot from yesteryears—a tribute to both our maritime heritage and the enduring legacy left by Princess Elizabeth before she became Queen—a symbol forever et
