Mine problem in North Sea by G. H. Davis
The mine problem in the North Sea. The mine layer at work, showing the way in which the mine is held below the water and how it is exploded by a passing ship. The operation of the twin mine -- pressure on the cable explodes the charge which blows up the ship. A floating mine, noticeable from the decks of passing steamers. Mine sweeping and exploding -- an operation of the greatest danger. Including a map showing the disposition of German cruisers and gunboats in the Norwegian fjords just before the outbreak of war
