Naval ships

H.T.Sutters is my grandfather, an electrical engineer, who was one of the contractors responsible for installing electrical supplies and infrastructure within Portsmouth Naval Dockyard, in around 1906/7. He also 'electrified' Abbassia barracks in Cairo. He took photos while on both assignments. These are those from Portsmouth. Submarine B6 served in the first years of WW1, initially in the Royal Navy and later as surface patrol boat with the Italian Navy.

These look as if they are from a group of Royal Navy battleships built in the 1890s, following the design of HMS Royal Sovereign. Only one of the group saw active service with the Royal Navy in World War 1.

Seen from the A259 across The Salts park. A bit of a long shot, but clear enough to see UK Border Agency on her side.

Her Majesty's Cutter Valiant moored at Newhaven during patrols in the English Channel.

I have photographed this warship many times, so this is really just a record of how Belfast looks now and a photo to keep the trip's images together.

The RIB in the lower right photo 'buzzed' the harbour tour boat and did some fast turns for our benefit.
