    Mermaid Torpedo Plaque

    I just picked up an old chalkware relief plaque of 3 mermaids wrestling with a torpedo. I believe it is a reproduction of metal plaque somewhere. But I am wondering if anyone knows the history or significance. It has some markings but they were obscured by the casting process. I will post photos this weekend.

    Do you think your plaque is similar to this one ?

          A torpedo which did not reach it's aim (the enemy ship) and goes down to the ground (german: Grund) of the sea. It's called "Grundgänger".
