EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic presence of a World War I German warship at dock in the port city of Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The image, dated 9th May 1917, bears a handwritten inscription on the back, "From on deck with my shipmates," offering a glimpse into the daily life of the crew during wartime. The warship, a member of the Halb Flotille or Half Flotilla, is docked in the bustling harbor, surrounded by other vessels and the hustle and bustle of port activity. The words "Halb Flotille - Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany" are emblazoned across the ship's caps, proudly displaying its identity and allegiance. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human element of war, as well as the technological marvels of the era's naval warfare. The image is a rare and intriguing glimpse into history, brought to life through the personal connection of the inscription and the vivid details of the ship and its surroundings.
