Re: U-Boats that operated in the St-Lawrence

<HTML>Thanks a lot for the information , Douglas . He recalled in great detail how the U-Boat later sunk a merchant ship , and other town locals acknowledge this . True he may be pulling my leg , but when I went to visit him he told me everything about the town's history , where the people emmigrated from , so it may just be true .

But , in World War 1 , In October 1916 U-53 disproved the Admiralty's assessment that German submarines could only make a one-way trip across the Altantic. The U-boat put into the neutral US port of Providence, Rhode Island, where the crew cheerfully showed off the superb engineering of their warship to inspecting American officers, and put out to sea again, making no request for additional fuel. After destroying five Allied merchant ships off Nantucket Island, the boat turned for home. U-53 faced no opposition in its successful hunting on the New England coast.</HTML>
