EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1914, the wreck of the British submarine A7 lies embedded in the soft sand and mud at the bottom of Whitsand Bay, Cornwall. The submarine's nose is raised at an angle, giving an eerie sense of the violent force that brought her to rest in this underwater grave. The A7 was a pre-World War I submarine, part of the Royal Navy's expanding underwater fleet. On the lower diagram accompanying the photograph, a suggested explanation for the accident is given. According to the diagram, the submarine may have struck a submerged object, causing her to dive uncontrollably. The line indicating the depth of the water shows that the A7 plunged deep below the surface before coming to rest on the seabed. The photograph captures the moment of discovery, with divers examining the damaged submarine. The water around them is calm and clear, adding to the surreal atmosphere of the scene. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a reminder of the risks and challenges faced by early submarine crews. The accident to the A7 was a significant incident in the history of the British Navy's submarine service. It serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation, safety procedures, and the human factor in the development of this groundbreaking technology. Today, the wreck of the A7 remains a popular site for divers, who continue to explore the mysteries of this historic vessel.
