As the largest dealer in Marine Antiques in the World i come across so many historically important artefacts especially from the Warships of the Royal Navy. This is by far my most treasured possession and it hangs in the wall of my office.
This telegram not only timelines another moment where the British were poised to be speaking German in the future but also, in just a few words, gives you an insight into the emotion and mutual respect of Naval Warfare.
It reads,
" I torpedoed Bismark both sides before She sank & She had ceased firing but Her colours were still flying"
I'm so glad that there is this opportunity to show it to the general public as i think it is of national importance.
