Mission Completed by Robert Barbour. 7th June 1915. HM Submarine E.11 has just surfaced off Cape Helles at the entrance to the Dardanelles Straits. She has just safely negotiated passage through various minefields from the sea of marmora where she destroyed nine Turkish ships, and reached as far as Constantinople. In the background is the destroyer HMS Grampus and the beached freighter SS River Clyde. |
E11 Working Havoc In Constantinople Harbour. The crowning moment of E11s adventure was her sudden appearance in the harbour of Constantinople, to the utter consternation of the inhabitants. Lieutenant0Commander Nasmith fired two torpedoes, his objective being some transports, which were moored at the quayside. Unfortunately, strong currents deflected the torpedoes. The first blew up a barge with such force that it damaged a neighbouring transport, which had to be run ashore to avoid sinking. The second hit the quay itself and destroyed a great length of it. Immediately, every Turkish battery set up a fierce bark of protest, but too late. E11 had disappeared. It was a long time before the good citizens of Constantinople recovered their nerves. |
