U-461 caught on the surface in the Bay of Biscay by a Sunderland, while heading for the safety of the U boat pens on the French Brest Peninsula.

The Sunderland crewed by a predominantly RAAF crew, drop seven depth charges that straddled U-461 blowing the ship apart. On seeing survivors in the water the Sunderland dropped a life dinghy to the surviving crew enabling them to escape the frigid water.

The print is signed by five of the crew of the Sunderland, Jock Rolland, Peter Jensen, Horrie Morgan, Gerald Watson and Robert Webster and four survivors from U-461, Wilhelm Hoffken, Helmut Roschinski, Gerhard Korbjuhn and Alois Momper.
