TORPEDOES

Two WWII torpedoes on show at Fort St Elmo. I asked my elder brother to pose for me near them to show their size.
On the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the award to Malta of the George Cross, Fort St Elmo was open to the public for free and for just one day – 13th September, exactly one month ago. So my brother and I decided to revisit having been there on a previous occasion.
Many thanks for all your views, comments and favs. Always much appreciated.

These are big, to whom were they to be shot at??

[Connie Little]

They sure are big.

[Dione Giorgio]

@777margo I suppose they were fired from British warships against German and Italian warships or submarines.

Brings to life the scary effect of war especially in our troubled world today.

BTW...I posted quite a moving story from a stranger photo I did earlier this year. It's in the discussion thread

They are big and knowing their history could have caused such destruction ! Brother looks quite happy to pose with them -- the beauty and the beasts !!!!!!

nice shot — Too bad we can’t just live peacefully and there was no such things as torpedoes. We all get along on 365project😊

You wouldn't want to see one of those coming at you, would you!

[carol white]

Great capture illustrating the size of these weapons

Impressive. I'll bet those babies could do some serious damage.

Interesting, you certainly wouldn't want those heading towards you

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

Lovely capture and a fitting reminder of that period.

Having your brother in the picture shows us how huge this torpedoes really are.
I like to thank your for your comment on my sumac picture. this shrub grows 15 feet or 4.6 meter high and the green leaves turn red in the fall.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Having your brother there really puts their size in perspective. I'm sure they really did some damage when they hit! Good shot.

[Harry J Benson]

[william wooderson]

Looking completely bullet proof!

Wow! They are huge! Very interesting shot and information.

Malto has so much history and it is heartening to see the relics preserved.
