EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Royal Navy diver prepares to enter The Search for M2, an innovative deep-sea observation chamber, as part of the ongoing search for the sunken submarine HMS M2. The chamber, a groundbreaking invention by Robert Davis of Siebe, Gorman & Co., was designed specifically for underwater exploration and marked a significant advancement in deep-sea technology at the time. The HMS M2, a submarine of the T-class, sank on January 26, 1932, during a training exercise in West Bay, Dorset. Tragically, all 60 crew members lost their lives in the accident. The search for the submarine became a priority for the Royal Navy, and The Search for M2 chamber was employed to aid in the investigation. The diver, clad in his heavy diving gear, is seen here about to descend into the chamber, which was transported to the site via a transport vessel. The chamber, equipped with powerful lights and a large observation port, allowed the team to explore the depths of the sea and search for any signs of the missing submarine. This historical photograph captures the determination and courage of the Royal Navy divers as they worked tirelessly to uncover the truth behind the sinking of HMS M2. The Search for M2 chamber represented a pivotal moment in underwater exploration and paved the way for further advancements in deep-sea technology. Robert Davis, the inventor of the chamber, was a pioneer in the field of underwater technology, having previously invented submarine life-saving apparatus. His innovations continue to influence the development of diving equipment and underwater exploration techniques to this day.
