EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the lively scene on the Humber Estuary during a rainy day in July 1913, as observed by the renowned British naval artist, G. H. Davis. The image, titled "The Biter Bit," depicts a dynamic and historic moment during naval maneuvers at Grimsby. In the foreground, we see a transport ship skillfully navigating the choppy waters, its sails billowing in the wind and rain. In the background, the silhouettes of other ships can be seen, their masts and rigging standing tall against the stormy sky. The true drama of the scene, however, unfolds in the heavens above. A rocket, having been launched from one of the ships, explodes in a brilliant burst of light and color, its fiery tail illuminating the dark clouds. The sight must have been an awe-inspiring spectacle for those on the shore and aboard the vessels. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print bring the past to life, transporting us back to a time when the Royal Navy was at the forefront of maritime innovation and training. The rain-soaked scene, with its sense of energy and excitement, is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who braved the elements to serve their country on the open sea. This work of art is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the rich naval heritage of Grimsby and the Humber Estuary.
