Shore attacks occured quite commonly in WWI, in the Med, along the Channel and in Afrika to mention a few areas....they were a normal way for Naval force to be projected...however with the advent of air attacks later in the war, it was less safe for a surface fleet to steam back and forth attacking a shore target when they would be sitting ducks ..for bombardment takes careful plotting and correction and requires a constant and predictable base course and speed.
