EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section drawing by renowned marine artist G.H. Davis depicts a modern German submarine, or U-boat, from the year 1915. The image offers an intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of this formidable naval vessel, which was a significant threat to Allied shipping during World War I. The steel submarine is shown just a few feet below the surface of the water, with the bow on the left and the stern on the right. Ten distinct compartments are clearly visible, each with its unique function essential for the U-boat's operation. At the bow, the torpedo room houses the vessel's deadly payload, while the engine room, situated towards the middle, powers the submarine's propellers. The crew's living quarters, mess, and galley are located towards the stern, providing essential comforts for the submariners during their extended underwater missions. The spherical sections in the drawing represent the various watertight compartments designed to ensure the submarine's buoyancy and survival in case of damage. This innovative design was a significant advancement in submarine technology, allowing the U-boats to remain submerged for extended periods and effectively patrol the seas. This annotated detail from Davis's work offers a fascinating historical insight into the design and construction of these formidable German naval vessels, which played a crucial role in the naval warfare of World War I. The intricate drawing invites viewers to explore the rich history and engineering marvels of the steel sharks of the German Navy.
