EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the final moments of H.M.S. Irresistible as it sinks in the waters of the Dardanelles on March 18, 1915. The image, taken from the British warship H.M.S. Vivid, documents the aftermath of the disaster that occurred during the ill-fated naval attack on the Ottoman forts guarding the entrance to the Dardanelles strait. The campaign, which aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and relieve the besieged city of Vladivostok, had already claimed numerous lives and ships. The H.M.S. Irresistible, a pre-Dreadnought battleship, struck a mine laid by the Ottoman defenses, causing a massive explosion that ripped through the ship. The blast was so powerful that it could be heard and felt in Istanbul, some 25 miles away. Within minutes, the once proud vessel was engulfed in flames and sinking. The photograph shows the Irresistible's stern listing heavily to starboard, with smoke billowing from the wreckage. The masts and superstructure have been obliterated, leaving only the hull and a few remaining structures visible. The water around the ship is filled with debris and the bodies of sailors who were unable to escape. The image is a stark reminder of the human cost of the Dardanelles campaign, which would continue to claim lives and resources until its eventual abandonment in January 1916. This historical photograph, taken on April 7, 1915, by an unknown photographer and published in the Illustrated London News, is an important record of the events that transpired during the Dardanelles campaign. It serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the sailors who served on the H.M.S. Irresistible and the other ships involved in the campaign. The image is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of war and the importance of learning from the past.
