Dazzle Ships
Dazzle Ships: World War I and the Art of Confusion | Chris Barton
6 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Behold some of the most mesmerizing patterns you'll ever see! Dazzle ships were the brainchild of World War I Royal Navy commander Norman Wilkinson. His eye-catching designs for British and American ships made it difficult for the German torpedoes to determine the ship's speed and direction. Vivid illustrations bring to life the little-known history of an improbable idea that produced something utterly dazzling.

#MagnificentMarch Day 4: Now this book is #AboutASoldier A Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve lieutenant commander named Norman Wilkinson who came up with a bold and creative suggestion to address the seemingly-insurmountable problem of submarine attacks by Germany during the war. My review of this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction title here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iHk

Worth picking up for the art alone! I found the narrative just so-so. Interesting facts about WW1 ships but it wasn‘t a repeat read for us. But, again, the art! 😍
