Re: Unspecified U-boat caught up in trawl warps of North Shields trawler Alexander Hastie, 23.2.1915

The auxiliary patrol tended to make impressive claims when it came to U-boat confrontations, yet analysis generally tends to take away some of the shine

I take your point, the vessel was not part of the AP and I do not think it had encountered a U boat.

The NID section of Admiralty tended to embellish any account it could get hold of for propaganda purposes and I note that this story first broke surface in one of the monthly U boat action accounts, having been picked up from the Newcastle Journal.
