East Sussex.



Shot of the grounded German sub very near the beach; partly submerged in water; rocking in the waves of the storm. A few children; and women (small ones or else girls) arrive on the windy beach to gawk at the enemy sub. CU submarine rocking side to side - no sign of life.



Note: Took place in April 1919. Sub was being towed to France at the time of the storm. Two members of the Hastings coastguard died from gas poisoning.
