EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the aftermath of the Zeebrugge Raid, an audacious military operation during the First World War that took place on the night of 23 April 1918. The image shows the damaged Zeebrugge Mole, a mile-long viaduct that protected the sea port of Zeebrugge, Belgium, from the open sea. The German navy had been using the port as a base, making it a strategic target for the British forces. In an ingenious plan, the British Royal Navy filled a submarine, HMS C3, with explosives and sailed it into the port. The submarine was then remotely detonated, creating a gaping hole in the landward end of the mole. The resulting damage can be seen in this photograph, with debris scattered around the area and the viaduct's once solid structure now broken and fragmented. The Zeebrugge Raid was a significant success for the Allies, neutralising the port and disrupting the German navy's operations. The raid also demonstrated the growing importance of naval warfare and the innovative tactics being employed during the Great War. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history, showcasing the devastating impact of military action on the built environment.
