H T Sutters photos of naval ships in Portsmouth Harbour early 20th c.

H.T.Sutters is my grandfather, an electrical engineer, who was one of the contractors responsible for installing electrical supplies and infrastructure within Portsmouth Naval Dockyard, in around 1906/7. He also 'electrified' Abbassia barracks in Cairo. He took photos while on both assignments. These are those from Portsmouth. Submarine B6 served in the first years of WW1, initially in the Royal Navy and later as surface patrol boat with the Italian Navy.

The ferry may not be a naval ship, although it will have carried many naval personnel between Gosport and Portsmouth, but H.M.S. Victory certainly is.

These look as if they are from a group of Royal Navy battleships built in the 1890s, following the design of HMS Royal Sovereign. Only one of the group saw active service with the Royal Navy in World War 1.
