Produced in 1915 as the Admiralty Type 184, but more commonly referred to as 225s due to the horsepower of the initial powerplant, the Short Seaplane established the Short Brothers' reputation as designers of first-class seaplanes and was extensively used during the First World War. One even made history during the Dardanelles campaign when it became the first Aircraft in the world to sink an enemy ship at sea by means of a torpedo.
