HMS Vindictive after Zeebrugge Raid, Belgium, WW1
View of HMS Vindictive, an Arrogant-class protected cruiser, after the Zeebrugge Raid (23 April 1918), Belgium, when her upperworks were badly damaged by gunfire. She was later sunk as a blockship at Ostend during the Second Ostend Raid on 10 May 1918. The Zeebrugge and Ostend Raids gave the ship celebrity, and her bow section has been preserved in Ostend harbour as a lasting memorial. Date: April-May 1918

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the damaged hull of HMS Vindictive lies at anchor in the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium, following the daring and historic Zeebrugge Raid of April 23, 1918, during the First World War. The Arrogant-class protected cruiser, proudly serving in the Royal Navy, had been subjected to intense enemy fire during the operation, resulting in significant damage to her upperworks. The Zeebrugge Raid was a bold and audacious attack on the German naval base at Zeebrugge, aimed at disrupting the enemy's U-boat operations in the English Channel. The mission was a success, with the British forces managing to destroy several enemy vessels and damage others, while also capturing the port. Despite her battered appearance, HMS Vindictive would go on to see further action in the Second Ostend Raid on May 10, 1918, where she was ultimately sunk as a blockship to prevent the Germans from reoccupying the port. The bravery and sacrifice of the crew of HMS Vindictive and their comrades during these raids have left a lasting legacy, and their heroism continues to be celebrated. Today, a section of the bow of HMS Vindictive remains preserved in Ostend harbour as a poignant and enduring memorial to the men who served on the ship and the historic events of the Zeebrugge and Ostend Raids. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and courage, and serving as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Royal Navy during World War 1.
