EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Battlecruiser HMS Hood, as seen from the deck of HMS Nelson in 1937. The largest warship in the Royal Navy at that time, this majestic vessel symbolized British naval power and technological advancement. Little did anyone know that tragedy would befall her just a few years later. On May 24th, 1941, during a fierce engagement with the German battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen in the Denmark Strait, HMS Hood suffered a catastrophic explosion and sank into the depths of the sea. Only three out of her crew of 1418 brave sailors managed to survive this devastating event. This poignant image serves as a reminder of both the might and vulnerability of these warships during World War II. It showcases not only their impressive size but also highlights key features such as gun barrels and lifebelts which were essential for survival on board. Originally featured on a cigarette card from The Navy series produced by Senior Service Cigarettes in 1937, this historical photograph offers us an invaluable glimpse into naval warfare during one of humanity's darkest chapters. As we reflect upon this haunting image, let us remember those who served aboard these formidable vessels and honor their sacrifice for our freedom.
