16 x 20in. (40.5 x 50.8cm.)


At dawn on 13 September 1914 E9, commanded by Lt-Cmder Horton, torpedoed the German light cruiser S.M.S. Hela six miles southwest of Heligoland. All but two of her crew were rescued by the German submarine U-18 and another German ship. Although pursued most of the day by German naval forces, E9 managed to reach Harwich safely. Three weeks later, Horton sank the German destroyer S116 off the mouth of the River Ems. For this and the earlier action, Horton was awarded the DSO. E9 was scuttled outside Helsinki (Helsingfors) 1.5 nautical miles off Grohara Light in the Gulf of Finland on 3 April 1918 to avoid seizure by advancing German forces; and was finally salvaged for breaking in Finland in August 1953.
