1. Title: "HMS Courageous: A Glimpse into the Past - Royal Navy's Early Aircraft Carrier" This vintage lantern slide presents an intriguing image of the Royal Navy's HMS Courageous, one of the world's earliest and most pioneering aircraft carriers. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique window into the naval history of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The HMS Courageous, launched in 1912, was the first purpose-built aircraft carrier in the world, marking a significant turning point in naval warfare. This image showcases the ship's impressive size and stature, with its distinctive funnel and mast towering over the deck. The presence of biplanes on the deck, ready for takeoff, underscores the groundbreaking role of the HMS Courageous in the development of aircraft carrier technology. The intricately detailed photograph, with its warm, sepia tones, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the grandeur and innovation of the early 20th century Royal Navy. The image is a testament to the technological advancements and visionary thinking that shaped the naval forces of the time. The HMS Courageous served in both World War I and World War II, and its legacy continues to inspire and influence modern naval forces. This lantern slide serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and pioneering spirit of the Royal Navy. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, housed at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer invaluable insights into the past. This photograph of the HMS Courageous is a standout example of the collection's ability to transport us back in time and provide a unique perspective on history.
