German Prisoners Leaving Their U-Boat, Bay Bulls, Newfoundland

Canadian war artist Tom Wood's watercolour depicts German sailors being transferred from U-190 on 14 May 1945.

Wood, assigned to paint subjects in eastern Canada and Newfoundland, was present when Canadian ships escorted U-190 to Bay Bulls, south of St. John's. There, Canadians removed the last of the U-Boat's crew, who had been operating the vessel under guard. The majority of U-190's crew had been taken onto Canadian ships at the time of the submarine's surrender.
