Hello to All,
On 30 April '17, U93 had already sunk 3 steamers when she encountered the Prize.
Prize was a sailing ship of 223 grt built in 1901 by Smit and Zoon in Germany. On
10 Aug. 1914 she was arrested by HMS Diana off southwest Ireland and escorted into
Falmouth. At the time she was Else.
Both vessels were extensively damaged but survived the engagement. This was the
last "success" of U93 on this patrol.
Respectfully,
Joe R
