EDITORS COMMENTS
Stranded Submarine: A Glimpse into History". This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the aftermath of World War I. The image showcases the stranded wreck of UB 112, one of five German U-boats that found their final resting place on the rugged rocks west of Pendennis Point in Falmouth, Cornwall. As we gaze upon this scene from the shore, we are reminded of the immense power and destructive force these submarines once possessed. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this haunting wreckage is a graceful sailing boat gracefully gliding through calm waters in the foreground. This striking contrast symbolizes both an end and a new beginning - a testament to humanity's resilience amidst chaos. The year was 1921 when Captain Jack Casement captured this poignant photograph. It serves as a reminder not only of war's devastating consequences but also of how nations come together even after conflict subsides. These U-boats were surrendered by Germany to the Royal Navy in 1918 and moored at Falmouth until they met their untimely fate. Today, this print stands as an invaluable piece of maritime history, offering us insight into naval warfare during World War I. Let it serve as a tribute to those who fought bravely beneath turbulent seas and remind us all that even amid destruction, there is always hope for peace and renewal.
