film/book review Captured U-boats at Harwich, Harwich Force

[MHillyard]

I bought this photograph about a year ago and recently i have been researching the story, as you can see there are a lot of U boats that were bought in to Harwich. These were dealt with by the Harwich Force who played quite a large role during the first world war. 122 submarines and associated craft were bought to Harwich. Apparently the whole German U boat fleet was surrendered at Harwich

 

Below are some links to tell the story of Harwich force and what happened to U boats after ww1.
