EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous waters of the First World War, the Italian steamer, a symbol of maritime commerce and progress, met an untimely end as it was relentlessly targeted by a German U-boat. In this haunting image, the moment of destruction is captured as the submarine's torpedo pierces the hull of the steamer, sending a plume of smoke and water into the air. The once proud vessel, now engulfed in chaos, is doomed to sink beneath the waves. The First World War, a time of great upheaval and conflict, saw the oceans become a battleground for submarines and merchant ships alike. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the war on the world's waterways and the lives of those who sailed upon them. The Italian steamer, now a relic of a bygone era, lies beneath the surface, a testament to the brutal realities of war at sea.
