Mystery of AE1: Australia's Lost Submarine and Crew by Kathryn Spurling (Paperback, 2014)

About this product

Product Information

AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR Australia's first submarines, AE1 and AE2, entered Sydney Harbour in time to join the celebration of Empire Day 24 May 1914 after a voyage from Britain that The London Times declared: 'manifestly the most remarkable yet performed by a submarine' - 83 days, 60 of which were spent at sea. Australians were fascinated by their submarines and proud that their young navy was bravely at the forefront of such technology. Britain declared war against Germany on 4 August 1914 and the British Admiralty despatched the Australian fleet to capture German New Guinea and destroy the German Pacific Fleet. On 14 September AE1 left Rabaul Harbour, with orders to patrol east of Cape Gazelle, and was seen off Duke of York Island in St George's Channel. Then AE1 simply disappeared. This was the first loss of a military unit during WWI and the beginning of a terrible war for Australians. An ensuing search found no trace, and for the families of the 35 officers and men onboard AE1 life would never be the same. The Mystery of AE1: Australia's Missing Submarine and Crew traces the beginnings of Australia's navy and searches for answers to the questions that continue to be asked: Who or what contributed to the loss of Australia's first submarine? What killed the crew of AE1? Where do they lie? And why has Australia neglected them and their descendants? AUTHOR: AUTHOR: Kathryn Spurling served with the Australian Navy. After attaining her PhD she taught history and strategic studies at the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra. Dr Spurling has lectured extensively overseas and was the first Australian invited to speak at NATO HQ Brussels on the subject of women in the military, and the first Australian Summer Military History Fellow at the United States Military Academy, West Point. Dr Spurling is the author of Cruel Conflict: the triumph and tragedy of HMAS Perth. Dr Spurling is currently a Visiting Scholar, School of History and Social Sciences, Australian National University (ANU) Canberra, Australia.
