Description
Silhouetted in the foreground is a German submarine, known as a U-boat. It has just hit a ship, seen behind, on fire. Germany used submarines with deadly consequences during the First World War. Maintaining export was vital to the national income and war effort. Many pre-war trade channels remained open, for instance Welsh tinplate was supplied to France to can military foodstuffs. Pears uses light and dark contrast to great effect in the work.
