German submarine U-9 in the Camber in 1919. Most notoriously successful U-boat of WW1. Under the command of Otto Weddigen, sank three armoured cruisers of the "Live Bait" squadron in the Broad Fourteens in the space of one hour: HMS Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue. Later sank another cruiser, HMS Hawke, and assorted merchantmen.

U-9 on Dover beach in 1919 with the Promenade Pier in the background. On the way from Harwich to Morecambe Bay for scrapping. Went aground for a month enroute and was towed into Dover in sinking condition for repairs. Sank in the harbour. Raised and beached in front of Waterloo Mansions. Eventually repaired in the Camber. Those evil torpedo tubes in the photo accounted for the deaths of 1459 men of the Live Bait squadron alone.
