'A Torpedoed cruiser escorted to port': HMS 'Dublin' in the Adriatic, June 1915
Inscribed, as title, and signed by the artist, lower right, this drawing was reproduced in Wyllie and M.F. Wren's 'Sea Fights of the Great War (1918) f. p. 138. It shows the light cruiser 'Dublin' (1912) after she was torpedoed by the Austrian submarine 'U4' (1908) (also given as U IV) off the Albanian coast on 9 June 1915, while being escorted by French and Italian destroyers. She was escorted back to Brindisi and was subsequently repaired and returned to the UK. In this drawing a French 'Bouclier'-class destroyer is off her starboard side and an Italian destroyer of the 'Indomito' class is to port (viewer's right and left, respectively)
