The Collier Thordis - A Heroic Encounter in the Depths of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an extraordinary act of bravery during the tumultuous years of World War I. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness the dramatic scene as the collier Thordis prepares to ram a German submarine on 18th February 1915. The image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit and courage displayed by British seafarers amidst the perils of naval warfare. It commemorates not only the first sinking of a submarine by a merchant vessel but also pays homage to all those who fought valiantly for their country's cause. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, our eyes are drawn to every detail - from the determined faces onboard Thordis to the menacing presence of the submerged U-boat with its periscope ominously peering above water. The composition exudes tension and anticipation, capturing both sides locked in a deadly struggle for survival. This artwork is part of "Deeds That Thrill The Empire" an iconic collection that celebrates acts of heroism throughout history. Its inclusion here speaks volumes about how this particular event resonated with audiences at that time and continues to captivate us today. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time, reminded once again of humanity's resilience and unwavering determination even amidst unimaginable adversity.
