| Description | By J.H. Valda. This cartoon shows a British sailor about to tuck into a huge pie. The pie is shaped like a German U-boat or submarine. The caption reads: 'A PIE FOR WHICH JACK HAS AN EVER READY APPETITE.' 'U-Boat' was derived from 'Unterseeboot', the German for 'submarine'. The Allied countries tended to term all German submarines 'U-Boats', although in Germany the term was only applied to their larger, longer-range submarines. U-boats operating in British waters wreaked havoc throughout 1915, most famously sinking the passenger liner 'Lusitania', but in April 1916 the U-boat campaign around the British Isles was called off amid fears of a reaction from the U.S. to the killing of American civilians. |
