Underwater Mines Through the Ages and Countermeasures
The passage reviews historical mine warfare from the Thirty Years' War to World War I, noting blockades with moored mines at La Rochelle, use against Britain in 1777, and Napoleonic blockades. It cites Sir Charles Pasley’s 1839 electrically discharged mine and Whitehead’s 1860s self-propelled torpedo, with 500 ships sunk in 1914-18 and torpedoes killing four times as many. It concludes that every advance in mine warfare prompts a counter weapon.
