Items related to Unrevealing Surcouf
This is an illustrated short story based on the actual reported disappearance of the submarine named Surcouf (1929-1942). There have been various false sightings, conspiracy theories and assessments of the French submarine Surcouf, but what happened to submarine remains a mystery. In this book I touch upon the various false sightings, but only touch briefly upon the possible conspiracy theories. What was of more interest to me was some of the design anomalies of the Surcouf that may have contributed to her not being considered a valuable naval asset in 1942. Some of the unusual features of the Surcouf include: her battleship style deck turret, a built in aircraft hanger and the immense size of the vessel. As well, I delve into some history about earlier ships with the name Surcouf. The history of the name has cultural importance to the French. This may have influenced the submarine captain’s decisions regarding Surcouf. It should be noted that many of the ship spirit representations have variations to their outfits from one depiction to the next. This is quite intention to try to bring to light the very one-off nature of the Surcouf submarine design. Lost or found, Surcouf represents a unique piece of history.
