Belgian Mole Quay Zeebrugge War Time Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the view of the Mole at the sea port of Zeebrugge, Belgium, during the First World War. The Mole, a massive breakwater and quay, juts out into the North Sea, shielding the inner harbor from the harsh winds and waves. In the distance, several ships are anchored, their sails furled and masts still, a testament to the calm that follows the intense naval battles that once raged in these waters. The Mole, a vital strategic point during the war, was the site of several daring raids and attacks. In 1918, British forces launched a successful raid on the German-occupied port, using a specially designed ship, the Royal Navy's X-Craft, to lay mines and disrupt German supply lines. The photograph, taken circa 1918, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and uncertainty. The image is a poignant reminder of the role that ports and harbors played in the Great War, and the importance of control over maritime routes and resources. This photograph, with its haunting beauty and historical significance, is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring power of the sea.
