Attacking Cruiser Estuary Konig Mine Sunk Amphion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history - the sinking of the British cruiser HMS Amphion by a mine in the Thames estuary during World War I. The events of August 1914 forever changed the course of war at sea, as this powerful image illustrates. The British cruiser Amphion was on a mission to attack the German minelayer Konigin Luise when tragedy struck. The explosion of a mine sent shockwaves through the ship, ultimately leading to its demise. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated, as it marked one of the first major naval losses for Britain in what would become known as The Great War. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who served aboard HMS Amphion. Their courage in facing danger head-on serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to defending their country. Through Mary Evans Picture Library's meticulous preservation and presentation of this piece, we are granted a window into an important chapter in maritime history. This print serves as both a tribute to those who lost their lives that fateful day and a reminder of the enduring impact that war has on nations and individuals alike.
