EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the improvised harbour at Lancashire Landing on W Beach during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. In 1915, as Allied forces attempted to seize control of the Dardanelles and Constantinople from the Ottoman Empire, they faced the challenge of landing troops and supplies in the face of heavy seas and strong Turkish defenses. The solution came in the form of an improvised harbour, constructed from grounded ships off the coast. This innovative approach proved highly successful, providing a much-needed haven for British and French vessels in the treacherous waters. In this image, a British Destroyer is seen moored safely within the harbour, a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Allied forces. The Gallipoli Campaign, which lasted from April 1915 to January 1916, was a costly and ultimately unsuccessful endeavor for the Allies. However, the construction of the improvised harbour at Lancashire Landing represents a significant achievement in military engineering and logistics. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the challenges and innovations of the First World War, and serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and determination of those who fought in this pivotal conflict.
