EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of intense action during the First World War. In this dramatic scene, we witness the sheer luck that saved a British war vessel from destruction by a German U-boat torpedo. The photograph, taken in 1916, showcases the bravery and resilience of those who fought on the seas. The image reveals a chaotic naval battle with billowing black smoke engulfing the deck as crew members scramble to defend their ship. Amidst this turmoil, an ominous torpedo streaks through the water, narrowly missing its intended target – a stroke of fortune that would alter the course of history. The composition offers us a glimpse into life onboard these formidable vessels during wartime. We see sailors manning searchlights and standing resolute on deck while their ship cuts through choppy waters. The tension is palpable as they face an unseen enemy lurking beneath them. Although created by an unknown artist for "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VI" this powerful image conveys not only military might but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and determination in times of adversity. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us pay tribute to those who risked everything to protect their country's shores and honor their unwavering courage in facing such perilous circumstances at sea.
