Liner approaching British waters
An emotive drawing by Fortunino Matania showing a concerned mother with her two children on the deck of a liner approaching British waters, nearing port. Her concern is due to the German U-boat policy of targeting any vessel, not just those of an obvious military nature. This policy was ostensibly the main reason that the United States had entered the war in April 1917. Date: 1917

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous waves of the North Atlantic, a concerned mother clutches her two young children tightly on the deck of a liner approaching British waters. The anxious expression on her face reflects the uncertainty and fear that gripped the hearts of countless civilians during World War I. The year was 1917, and the threat of German U-boats loomed large over the seas. The First World War was not just a battlefield confined to the trenches of Europe. The conflict extended far beyond the shores, with naval warfare playing a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the war. The German U-boat campaign, in particular, targeted merchant vessels indiscriminately, regardless of their military significance. This ruthless policy not only disrupted the Allied supply lines but also instilled a sense of dread among civilians, who lived in constant fear of being caught in the crossfire. Fortunino Matania's emotive drawing captures the raw emotion and vulnerability of civilians during this time. The mother's protective gaze is fixed on the horizon, her eyes scanning the waters for any signs of danger. The children, oblivious to the impending threat, cling to her, their innocence a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. The looming threat of the U-boats was a significant factor in the United States' decision to enter the war in April 1917. The sinking of the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, in May 1915, had already raised tensions between the Allies and Germany. The U-boat campaign only intensified these tensions, ultimately leading the United States to join the war effort. Matania's drawing is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the fear that gripped civilians during this turbulent time in history. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
