| Description | Lot-9212-26: WWI-Royal Navy. Post-card reads, “Britain at War: The Grand Fleet” by Muirhead Bone. Text on the card reads, “A Battleship Taking In Oil Fuel at Sea. Viewed from the bridge. A large oil “tanker” is alongside. Unseen, but very fast, the oil fuel is running into the battleship. How great a boon this new fuel is can be understood, at any rate partly, by those who have endured the coaling of a great ship in the old way. The scene shown in the drawing was animated by the changeful gleam of the signal flags flapping in the foreground and by the flashing of wings of innumerable hungry gulls.” Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
