EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group portrait of the lads of the training ship HMS Impregnable in 1896. The artist, WM Crockett, skillfully portrays these young cadets in their naval uniforms, standing proudly on the deck of the warship. HMS Impregnable, originally a second-rate ship of the line, was repurposed as a training ship at Devonport in 1862. However, by 1886 it was replaced by HMS Howe and renamed Impregnable. Over time, several other ships took on this prestigious name until its decommissioning in 1948. The image showcases an important moment in history when these boys were being prepared for future service to their country. Their serious expressions reflect their dedication and commitment to becoming sailors within the Royal Navy. As we delve into this nineteenth-century scene, we are transported back to an era characterized by maritime warfare and military personnel who relied heavily on water transport for battles at sea. The concept of naval warfare is vividly depicted through this monochrome photograph. Through this remarkable print from The Navy and Army Illustrated magazine dated July 24th, 1896; we gain insight into the lives of these young men who would go on to serve their nation with honor and bravery aboard various ships named HMS Impregnable.
