Charles Pears: Transport by Sea - Transporting Troops
In this lithograph titled Transporting Troops, the dynamic and perilous nature of wartime transport during the First World War is vividly portrayed.

Smaller escort vessels can be seen surrounding the troopship, illustrating the protective measures taken during such crucial operations.

Each artwork in this range highlights different aspects of naval transport, from the construction and outfitting of ships to the actual journey across the seas. Through meticulous detail and evocative compositions, these prints underscore the crucial contribution of naval operations to the war effort, capturing the resilience and determination of those who served both at sea and on land.
