EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1937, aboard the mighty battleship HMS Nelson. The image showcases a group of British sailors engaging in a lively game of deck hockey, capturing a moment of leisure amidst their duties at sea. Dressed in their traditional sailor attire, these men find solace and camaraderie through this recreational pastime. With shorts and hockey sticks in hand, they skillfully navigate the ship's deck as if it were an ice rink. Their dedication to maintaining physical health and fitness is evident as they immerse themselves in this energetic sport. The backdrop of the vast ocean adds an element of adventure to this scene. As waves crash against the warship's hull and davits stand tall nearby, one can't help but admire both the beauty and power that comes with life on board such a vessel. This photograph serves as a testament to not only the importance of recreation for mental well-being during times of war but also highlights how sports can bring people together regardless of their surroundings or circumstances. It offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us that even amidst conflict and duty, moments like these played an integral role in fostering unity among those who served on board naval ships like HMS Nelson.
