Dundee International Submarine Memorial

The Dundee International Submarine Memorial is a war memorial at Victoria Dock composed of nine limestone slabs, with the central stone displaying submarine silhouettes. The surrounding stones bear the names of fallen servicemen, and the site includes limestone and oak seating areas.

The memorial was created to honor six submarines that departed from the Tay base between 1940 and 1945 and never returned during World War II. This period was crucial for Allied operations in Atlantic and European waters.

The memorial tells the stories of British, Dutch, French, Norwegian, Polish, and Russian submarine crews who worked together from the River Tay. This international group reflects the cooperation that happened during wartime operations.

The memorial is located between Victoria and Camperdown docks and is easily accessible on foot. The benches and walkways offer comfortable areas to stop and read the engraved names.

The limestone slabs feature individual submarine silhouettes representing HMS Oxley, HMS Thames, O-13, O-22, Uredd, and B-1/V-1. Each shape tells the story of a lost vessel and its crew.
