This print takes us back to October 1952, where we find the Midget Submarine X-Boat tied up alongside its depot ship, HMS Gateshead. The scene unfolds in the Pool of London on the majestic River Thames, a historic location that has witnessed countless maritime events throughout history. The Midget Submarine X-Boat featured in this image played a crucial role during significant military operations, including the Normandy Landings and the crippling of the formidable German warship, The Tirpitz. Its compact size and stealth capabilities made it an invaluable asset for naval forces. As we delve into this snapshot from the 1950s, we are transported into a world of bravery and camaraderie amongst sailors serving in Her Majesty's Royal Navy. These courageous men dedicated their lives to protecting their nation's interests at sea.

This iconic bridge serves as a symbol of connection between past and present generations who have traversed these waters.
