Ship wreck

18 06 2009

More photos from my great-grandfather’s WWI archive … this time a couple of the ‘dieing’ ships that he obtained and took photographs of while he was on active service.

SS City of Birmingham, torpedoed on Nov 27, 1916

The SS City of Birmingham sank in the Mediterranean. This photo was taken by an unknown seaman who survived the Birmingham’s sinking and managed to photograph the ship going down.  He was picked up alone on a raft making his way to shore, and my great-grandfather developed his photos for him, and made a copy of this one for his own records.
