Stranded Submarines - A Glimpse into Naval History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in naval history. Taken by Captain Jack Casement in 1921, the image showcases the aftermath of an intriguing event that unfolded off the shores of Falmouth, Cornwall. In the foreground, we witness two stranded German U-boats resting on the shallow seabed while another submarine lies between them and the shore. These submarines were part of a group of five surrendered to the Royal Navy after World War I in 1918. However, fate had other plans for these vessels as they found themselves marooned just three years later. The lifting rig Cyklop takes center stage in this photograph, serving as a reminder of human ingenuity amidst adversity. Cyklop was instrumental in maneuvering submarines into position during their time at Falmouth. Its presence adds an air of resilience and determination to this scene. As we delve deeper into this historic snapshot, it becomes evident that these stranded submarines met their ultimate fate right where they lay – broken up in situ. This decision highlights both practicality and preservation efforts undertaken by authorities at that time. Through this evocative image captured almost a century ago, we are transported back to an era when naval warfare dominated global affairs. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of technological advancements but also reflects upon the sacrifices made during times of conflict.
