EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the 1860s showcases an advertisement for Samson Barnett, a renowned diving apparatus manufacturer to the Royal Navy during the Victorian era. The image, taken at Spithead, a famous naval anchorage in the Solent, England, highlights the advanced diving equipment produced by Samson Barnett. In the foreground, a diver in a bulky, yet intricately designed diving suit, is seen being recovered from the depths of the sea. The diver, with the assistance of several sailors, is being hoisted back onto the deck of a naval ship using a recovery line and pulley system. The ship's guns are prominently displayed, emphasizing the military application of the diving equipment. The advertisement text in the upper left corner of the print reads, "SAMSON BARNETT, DIVING APPARATUS, HOXTON, LONDON." Samson Barnett was a pioneering figure in the development of diving equipment, supplying the Royal Navy with advanced apparatus that enabled divers to explore the seabed and carry out essential underwater tasks. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the maritime world of the 1860s, showcasing the technological advancements and the daring exploits of the divers who braved the depths of the sea to serve their country. This photograph print is an essential addition to any collection focused on naval history, maritime exploration, or the history of diving equipment.
