HMS Vindictive an Arrogant class cruiser seen here on 24th April 1918 after she was in fierce action at Zeebrugge. Vindictive was part of a raid to block the main entrance of the port thus preventing the Germans using the harbour as a submarine base. The smokescreen which was meant to cover her approach to the port failed and as she went alongside the Mole her upperworks were badly damaged by gunfire, her Captain, Alfred Carpenter was awarded a Victoria Cross for his actions during the raid

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This print captures the HMS Vindictive, an Arrogant class cruiser, on April 24th, 1918, immediately after a fierce battle at Zeebrugge. The Vindictive played a crucial role in a daring raid aimed at blocking the main entrance of the port to prevent German submarines from using it as their base. Despite facing numerous challenges during this operation, her resilience and determination shone through. As she approached the port under cover of a smokescreen that unfortunately failed to conceal her presence entirely, the Vindictive endured heavy gunfire which inflicted severe damage upon her upperworks. However, undeterred by these adversities, Captain Alfred Carpenter demonstrated exceptional bravery and leadership throughout the raid. In recognition of his extraordinary actions during this mission, Captain Carpenter was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross. This photograph serves as a testament to both his heroism and the indomitable spirit of those who served aboard HMS Vindictive. Transporting us back to one of history's most turbulent periods - World War One - this image offers us a glimpse into naval warfare in the early 20th century. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought valiantly for their countries amidst unimaginable adversity. Officially licensed by Memory Lane Prints and not intended for commercial use, this print is an invaluable piece of historical documentation that pays homage to our brave sailors and commemorates their contributions during times of war and conflict.
