EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures a dramatic moment in history as a torpedoed liner is assisted into port. The print, created by Charles John de Lacy in the early 20th century, showcases the bravery and resilience of those involved in maritime warfare during World War I. The image depicts a damaged passenger ship listing to one side, surrounded by billowing smoke and warships. In the foreground, paddle steamers and tugboats can be seen providing much-needed assistance to bring the stricken vessel safely ashore. The scene is filled with tension and urgency as these small vessels work tirelessly against the backdrop of an expansive sea. This powerful illustration was featured in "Ships that Saved the Empire" by Charles R Gibson, highlighting the crucial role played by ships like this one in protecting Britain during wartime. It serves as a reminder of both the devastating impact of submarine warfare on ocean liners and the determination of naval forces to protect their country. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where nations were at war, but also united in their efforts to overcome adversity. It stands as a testament to human courage and solidarity amidst chaos.
