Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Battleship HMS Valiant in floating dock at Invergordon, late 1918 or 1919.

Quote from http://www.theinvergordonarchive.org/picture/number1462.asp:

"The gun tampions have a cockerel emblem confirming that she is H.M.S. Valiant. The flying-off platforms were fitted to the ‘B’ and ‘X’ turrets in 1918 so the date of this picture is either late 1918 or 1919."
