HMS Titania - Hong Kong

This painting is an example of a China Trade painting from circa 1920, and unusual as it features submarines and a depot ship. The Museum has put it next to the model of depot ship Latona, and they feel it really completes the story in the gallery.

The caption for the painting is:
HMS Titania at Hong Kong
China Trade painting, circa 1920
In 1920 HMS Titania (the depot ship) and several L-class submarines formed the 4th Submarine Flotilla in the Far East. Each summer/autumn the flotilla usually cruised from Wei-Hai-Wei, China, to Japan before returning to Hong Kong for the winter. In the spring the flotilla would cruise the South China Sea visiting Singapore, Borneo, or the Philippines.
