Proudly serving as a Royal Navy fishery protection trawler, this vessel played an invaluable role during World War II. As war clouds loomed over Europe, the versatile HMS Cherwell was repurposed into a harbor boom defense vessel.

The boat's transformation symbolized the nation's determination to protect its shores and vital fishing industry from harm. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only a military marvel but also glimpse into life within bustling city walls.

It reminds us of their selfless dedication to safeguarding our seas amidst turbulent times. Today, this remarkable print stands as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience during one of humanity's darkest chapters—the Second World War.
