French submarine Saphir (Q44)
Sapphire is a submarine of the French Navy built in La Seyne-sur-Mer from 1903. It is part of the Émeraude-class submarine.
==History==
After its launch, the ''Sapphire'' was assigned to the Mediterranean. In 1913, it joined a squadron based in Bizerte, Tunisia, to defend the region. In late 1914, it moved closer to the Dardanelles to reach its base in Tenedos to participate in monitoring and blockade of the straits.
On 13 December 1914, a British submarine, the ''B11'', was able to enter the straits and sink a Turkish battleship, the ''Messudiyeh''.〔 On 15 January 1915, to follow the example of ''B11'' and without prior orders,〔 the commander of ''Sapphire'', Lt Henri Fournier, tried to force the entrance of the straits. Diving under the minefield, off Chanak, a leak occurred in the Sapphire. Forced to surface under fire from enemy guns, the commander gave the order to destroy the code documents and to sink the submarine. Located at 1500 m from the coast, the crew tried to gain ground by swimming. The survivors who did not perish from cold (13 of 27 men and the two officers did not survive) were recovered by two boats of the Turkish army and transferred, after interrogation, to prisons including the one in Afyonkarahisar. Some were soon after taken as prisoners to camps Asia Minor where they managed to escape.
