Angeles Barracuda Boards California Dock Pedro Quay Quayside Submarine Submarines
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the American submarine Barracuda (F2) docked in Los Angeles Harbour, San Pedro, California, during World War I. Dated circa 1917, the image offers a glimpse into the history of the United States Navy during a pivotal moment in American and global history. The Barracuda, one of the first successful American submarines, was commissioned in 1915 and served in the Atlantic Ocean, sinking several German U-boats. The photograph showcases the submarine's imposing presence against the backdrop of other ships, their masts and smokestacks rising in the distance. The wooden quay and the simple, utilitarian structures on the shoreline add to the sense of wartime activity and industry. The image is a poignant reminder of the crucial role that the US Navy played in the First World War, particularly in the Atlantic, where submarines like the Barracuda helped to protect American interests and disrupt German commerce. The photograph's historical significance is further emphasized by the fact that it was taken in Los Angeles Harbour, a major hub of naval activity during the war. The image offers a unique perspective on the past, transporting us back to a time of great upheaval and change, and reminding us of the sacrifices and accomplishments of those who served during the First World War.
