EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a crucial moment in World War II, as merchant seamen work together to deploy an otter float on a minesweeper. The date is circa 1942, and the tension of wartime is palpable in their determined expressions. These brave individuals are part of the unattributed service that fought back against the dangers of naval warfare during WWII. The Otter Float was a vital tool used by minesweepers to detect and disarm underwater mines, saving countless lives and ensuring safe passage for allied ships. This image serves as a reminder of the incredible courage and sacrifice displayed by those who served in the Second World War. As we look at this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those on the front lines during WWII. The March of the Women Collection has preserved this important piece of our past, allowing us to reflect on the bravery and resilience shown by these merchant seamen in the face of danger. Let us honor their memory and never forget the sacrifices made by so many during one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War II.
