EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of crisis on the high seas during the First World War, as the British hospital ship Asturias comes under attack from a German submarine off the coast of Le Havre in April 1915. The Asturias, a former passenger liner converted into a floating infirmary, was on a mission to provide much-needed medical aid to Allied soldiers when it was struck by a torpedo. The ship's crew and passengers, including doctors, nurses, and wounded soldiers, bravely fought to keep the vessel afloat and prevent further loss of life. In the background, the ship Dacia can be seen steaming away from the scene. The Dacia's voyage had been the subject of much controversy earlier that year, as it had been purchased by a neutral country, Belgium, from the British government, despite the ongoing war. The sale raised questions about the rights of neutrals to purchase vessels from belligerents and sparked diplomatic tensions between various European powers. The Dacia's safe departure from the area marked a significant moment in the complex web of international relations during the First World War. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict, as well as the complexities and challenges of maintaining neutrality during a time of war. The bravery and resilience of those aboard the Asturias, as well as the broader geopolitical implications of the Dacia's voyage, make this a notable moment in the history of the Great War.
