EDITORS COMMENTS
Le blocus Sous-Marin forcé par L'Orleans: Le debarquement, a Bordeaux, du commandant Tucker, 1917" is a striking photograph from the First World War era, depicting a pivotal moment in naval history. The image, of unknown origin, captures the disembarkation of Commander Tucker from the SS Orleans at Bordeaux, France, marking the successful breaking of the German submarine blockade in 1917. During the First World War, the German navy employed a relentless submarine campaign, targeting Allied shipping lines and disrupting vital supply routes. The blockade forced several countries, including the United States, to seek alternative means of transporting essential resources to the European front. In this photograph, Commander Tucker, likely Allen Tucker, is seen stepping onto French soil, symbolizing the resilience and determination of the Allied forces. The SS Orleans, a United States Navy vessel, had managed to evade the German submarines, delivering a much-needed victory for the Allied powers. The international code of signals, indicated by the raised signal flags on the ship, adds an intriguing layer to the image, emphasizing the importance of communication and coordination during wartime. This photograph is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1," published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image is a poignant reminder of the naval warfare that took place during the First World War and the crucial role the United States Navy played in breaking the German submarine blockade.
