On This Day in History - June 20, 1942
June 20, 1942 #OTD World War II: Bombardment of Estevan Point Lighthouse: Japanese submarine I-26 (Pictured) shelled the Estevan Point lighthouse on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, but failed to hit its target. I-26 fired 25–30 rounds of 5.5-inch (140 mm) shells at the Estevan Point lighthouse and radio-direction-finding station, but failed to hit its target and the lighthouse station remained undamaged. Five Royal Canadian Navy patrol vessels and a RCAF Supermarine Stranraer flying boat were dispatched to search for the submarine but failed to locate I-26 which fled north and then returned to Japan. One of the 5.5-inch shells was recovered by a naval shore patrol after the attack while additional shell fragments were found in 1973.

A photo of sorrow
On the photo, is a at the time 14 year old girl, Czesława Kwoka, who is one of the child victims of Nazis from Poland. I thought about sharing this photo because it has a beautiful aesthetic, while making you feel so much sadness and showing despair, which isn't much visible on the girl's face. She... read more
