EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the type of shallow draught gun-boats being sent for South African service during the late 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer, is part of a private collection and provides valuable insight into naval operations during this time. The gun-boats depicted in the photo were built in sections, highlighting the innovative engineering techniques employed to ensure their successful deployment. These vessels played a crucial role in the Second Boer War, serving as vital assets for both the navy and army forces involved. The composition of this image beautifully showcases these impressive warships against a backdrop that hints at their imminent departure. It serves as a testament to the dedication and skill of those involved in constructing these boats and preparing them for service. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to an era where military might was shaped by technological advancements on water. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into naval warfare but also reminds us of the bravery exhibited by troops who relied on such vessels to protect their country's interests.
