EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the torpedoing of SS Sussex during World War I. The ship, en route from Folkestone to Dieppe on March 24, 1916, was suddenly struck by a torpedo from German U-boat UB-29. The impact caused severe damage to the vessel, with the entire bow forward of the bridge being blown off. Despite the catastrophic damage, the Sussex remained afloat, a testament to the resilience of her crew and the engineering prowess of the era. The photograph presents a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war at sea during this period. The once proud and majestic Sussex now lies battered and broken, its hull torn open and water flooding in. The crew members, who had only moments before been going about their duties, can now be seen scrambling to safety, their faces etched with shock and fear. The Sussex was eventually towed stern-first into Boulogne harbour, where repairs could be made. This photograph provides a poignant snapshot of a moment in history, a moment when the harsh realities of war collided with the daily routine of maritime life. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who went to sea during the First World War, and the dangers they faced in the pursuit of keeping supply lines open and maintaining the war effort.
