Thank you to the Naval Museum of Alberta for accepting and exhibiting my painting!

It features one of the Wrens (the Women's Royal Naval Service and the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service) of WWII working on a Bombe. Designed by Alan Turing and based off of the Polish bomba by Marian Rejewski, these cryptanalysis machines effectively cracked the Enigma Code. Because the Bombe was an electromechanical, mathematical logic machine, it was in fact the origin of computers, but analog. The "code" used the actual Enigma Code as an input, and the resulting decryption would be the output (done using dials and rotars). The people operating them would have been successfully using and maintaining the most complex technology known to human kind at the time - but today they would simply be known as computer programmers.

The Bombes were inspired by the Bomba (a Polish cryptanalyst machine) and was developed by Alan Turing using his ideas regarding logic and mathematics. It was, in the most direct way, the first example of modern day computers. Bletchley Park recruited Turing to fight the N***s after they had tried and failed to break the Enigma Code (the cypher the axis powers used to encode all of their messages). It is believed his efforts in cryptsnalysis and building the first Bombe machine may have shortened the war by several years. As well, many of the first operators of these machines were Women of the Royal Naval Service who had to be trained at decryption and electromechanical operation. Not only were these women experts, they worked on and with the most advanced technology seen to humans at that time. One might even say that they were the first computer coders.
