EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brave crew of the Thunderbolt Submarine, led by First Lieutenant J Stevens. Standing proudly on deck, these men exude a sense of camaraderie and determination amidst the backdrop of Liverpool Bay, North Wales. The HMS Thunderbolt, formerly known as HMS Thetis, holds a poignant history that adds depth to this image. The original HMS Thetis tragically sank during sea trials in 1939 but was salvaged and repaired to be recommissioned as the Thunderbolt in 1940. This picture is believed to have been taken around January 19th, 1940 - a time when World War II was raging on. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel awe for these courageous individuals who risked their lives beneath the waves. The submarine's deck showcases various naval equipment including guns and barrels, symbolizing both protection and firepower. Mirrorpix suggests that this photograph was also taken in Liverpool Bay itself - an intriguing detail that connects it even more closely with its historical context. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in the Royal Navy during one of humanity's darkest chapters. This Memory Lane Prints print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment from our past - one filled with bravery and resilience amid conflict.
