Onboard HMS Belfast
HMS Belfast is the ninth of ten Town-class cruisers; begun at the end of 1936, Belfast was launched March 1938 (on St Patrick's Day. After striking a mine in November 1939, Belfast spent two years undergoing repairs and improvements, finally returning to service in November 1942. Throughout 1943, Belfast was involved in escorting Arctic convoys to the USSR; in December 1943 Belfast was involved in the Battle of North Cape, during which it assisted with the sinking of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings; the following year Belfast was redeployed to the British Pacific Fleet, remaining in the Far East until 1947 when it returned to Portsmouth and underwent a refit. At the end of 1948 Belfast was based at Hong Kong and became the flagship of the 5th Cruiser Squadron, and returned to combat during the Korean War between 1950-52. Upgraded and modernised between 1956-59, Belfast moved into reserve in 1963, then marked for disposal in 1971, only saved with the formation of a private HMS Belfast Trust that took possession in July of that year. Initially an independent museum, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978.
Two young, barefoot men made this raft and put it into the Seine in Paris. By the time I started to cross the Solférino Passerelle at the Jardin des Tuileries, the water police had taken the young men and the raft out of the Seine.
The raft was very clever, made of heavy pieces of wood and foam insulation. They had affixed a white flag to the raft. Their paddles had wood handles and plexiglass paddles. A lot of thought, effort and money went into their work.
But the police took the raft, flag and paddles away in one boat. I watched for another 10 minutes, during which the police kept talking to the men. The fellows looked very disappointed.
I wonder what they were doing. I hope they had a good time on their raft, however long it floated along the Seine.
