EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history as Prince Albert arrives at Devonport to embark on the cruiser Cumberland. The year is 1913, a time of great exploration and adventure. This particular journey would take him across the vast expanse of the West Indies, Canada, and Newfoundland. Dressed in his distinguished naval uniform, Prince Albert stands tall among a group of men who have gathered to bid him farewell. His presence commands attention as he prepares for an expedition that will undoubtedly shape his future role as King George VI. The image captures not only the physicality of the moment but also conveys a sense of anticipation and purpose. As he boards HMS Cumberland, one can't help but wonder about the thoughts running through Prince Albert's mind – what challenges lie ahead? What discoveries await him on foreign shores? This photograph serves as a testament to both personal courage and national pride. It symbolizes an era when Britain was at its zenith, with its navy reigning supreme over distant waters. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance placed on training and preparation for naval warfare during this period. Preserved within the pages of Coronation Souvenir Book 1937 edited by Gordon Beckles, this image offers us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come since those days filled with uncertainty and adventure.
