MHillyard Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harwich_Force http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/17787 http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/articles/uboats_in_british_ports.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
