EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of HMS Vindictive at Zeebrugge in 1918, during the First World War. Painted by Charles John De Lacy, this artwork showcases the British Arrogant-class cruiser as it was transformed for a daring mission. In preparation for the Zeebrugge Raid on 23 April 1918, Vindictive underwent significant modifications, with most of its guns being replaced by howitzers, flame-throwers, and mortars. The image portrays a dramatic scene set against the backdrop of a dark night and a bustling harbor. The ship stands tall and formidable amidst explosions and chaos that symbolize the intensity of battle. The searchlights pierce through the darkness, illuminating both Vindictive's path and her enemies' positions. This painting not only highlights the bravery and determination of those who served aboard HMS Vindictive but also pays tribute to all naval forces involved in this crucial operation. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to protect Britain's interests during one of history's darkest times. Preserved at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, this artwork offers us an insight into an important chapter in naval warfare history. Through De Lacy's skilled brushstrokes, we are transported back to that fateful day when courage prevailed over adversity.
