EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of crisis during the torpedoing of the RMS Falaba by the German U-Boat U-28 on March 28, 1915, during the First World War. The image offers a unique perspective from on board the British steamship, as the liner tries in vain to outmaneuver its enemy in the vast expanse of the ocean. The German submarine, a menacing presence on the right side of the frame, has already fired its torpedo, and the impact is imminent. The crew and passengers on the Falaba can be seen scrambling to abandon ship, their expressions a mix of fear, determination, and despair. The decking is strewn with debris, and the water around the vessel is already churning with the wake of the torpedo. The Falaba, once a symbol of British maritime power and luxury, is now at the mercy of the enemy submarine. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of naval warfare during the First World War, and the constant threat posed by the German U-boats to Allied shipping lines.
