<HTML>Hi Jean-Michel
Here are some of U-19:
9/6 1915: Norwegian steamer SVEIN JARL (1.135 grt) torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-19 at pos. 56.40 N, 0.40 W when on voyage Worksworth – Kirkenes with a cargo of coal.
25/4 1916: Norwegian barque CARMANIAN (1.840 grt) captured, shelled and sunk by the German submarine U-19, at pos. 50.16 N, 12.02 W, when on voyage Buenos Aires – Queenstown with a cargo of 3.000 ton wheat.
25/2 1918: Steamship SANTA MARIA, (5,383 grt) torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-19 off northeast coast of Ireland; 1 mile from land near Loch Swilly; no casualties.
And some of U-9:
22/9 1914: The British armoured cruiser HMS ABOUKIR was torpedoed by the German submarine U-9, as she patrolled without cruiser protection off the Dutch coast. Suspecting a mine rather than a submarine because there was no indication of any enemy activity, the CRESSY and the HOGUE came to the aid of the survivors, but they too were torpedoed by the same U-boat almost immediately. All three were lost, with just over 800 being saved.
15/10 1914: The British armoured cruiser HAWKE Torpedoed while on patrol duty off East Scottish Coast by German submarine U-9.
Sorry nothing on U-17
