The Zeebrugge Mole Showing Naval Mechanics, 1918

Naval Mechanics on the Zeebrugge Mole, 1918

This photograph gives an extended view of the Zeebrugge Mole in 1918. The three casual men in oil-soiled clothes and caps looking up at the photographer are mostly likely naval mechanics.

Their easy attitude and the empty shell case suggest the Zeebrugge raid of St George’s Day 1918 has already occurred.
