EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "The Cobra Inquiry, Scenes at the Court-Martial on Board the Victory at Portsmouth" captures a significant moment in naval history. Created by Ralph Cleaver in 1901, this print provides a glimpse into the court-martial proceedings that took place aboard HMS Victory. Intriguingly, the court-martial revolves around an accident involving Commander Martin and Captain W. The prosecutor meticulously presents his case while providing instructions to those involved. Amongst them are Rear Admiral Pelham Aldrich, President of the court martial, and Lieutenant Boswell Smith. Notably present is Chief Engineer J. G. G Percey - the sole surviving officer from the ill-fated vessel known as Cobra. As he describes harrowing scenes during his testimony, Frederick Barnes attentively listens alongside other members of the Royal Navy. This image showcases not only the intensity of military trials but also highlights Portsmouth Dockyard Reserve's significance within Britain's armed forces. It serves as a reminder of how accidents can impact even highly trained troops and emphasizes their commitment to upholding justice within their ranks. "The Cobra Inquiry" engraving offers viewers a unique opportunity to delve into naval history and gain insight into one of many court-martials that shaped maritime practices in Hampshire during this era.
