EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1911, titled "Our own method of saving submarine seamen" by G.H. Davis, we witness a groundbreaking moment in underwater exploration and submarine safety. The image showcases two brave divers, clad in the newly invented copper helmet and waterproof jacket, ready to descend into the depths of the ocean. These innovative devices allowed men to breathe underwater for an extended period, revolutionizing the way submarine seamen could perform their duties. The submarines in the background are also fitted with air locks, a crucial safety feature that enabled the controlled exchange of air between the interior of the submarine and the outside environment. This technological advancement significantly increased the chances of survival for submarine crews during underwater operations. The copper helmet, with its distinctive spherical shape and bubbles emerging from the top, symbolizes the ingenuity and determination of the inventors to overcome the challenges of working underwater. The waterproof jackets, worn by the divers, were a testament to the progress made in creating protective clothing that could withstand the harsh underwater conditions. This photograph, taken during the pre-World War I era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of submarine safety and survival. The image serves as a reminder of the relentless human spirit and the continuous pursuit of knowledge and innovation, even in the most challenging environments.
