EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the stranded submarine JXC01_01_005 off the coast of Falmouth, Cornwall. The naval visitors aboard the wreck of UB 112 provide a sense of scale and perspective to this haunting scene. Once formidable war machines, five German U-boats found themselves moored at Falmouth after being surrendered to the Royal Navy in 1918 during World War I. However, fate had different plans for these submarines as several became stranded on the treacherous rocks west of Pendennis Point in 1921. Photographed by Captain Jack Casement that same year, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the perils faced by both sides during wartime. It also highlights the challenges involved in maintaining and salvaging such complex machinery. The decision was made to break up these once mighty vessels right where they lay - an unusual sight indeed. This unique approach allowed historians and future generations to witness firsthand how these submarines were dismantled over time. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about our shared maritime history. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even amidst destruction, there is always room for preservation and reflection.
