You're right.
The photo on Johannes Remy page is wrong. I have deleted it.
As far as now I haven't seen any photo of Johannes.

I've never heard such information about the name of a merchant vessel. I suppose that the important information is more the destination and cargo of a ship than her name.

In a German document "Noch lebende U-Boot Kommandanten des Weltkrieges" dated summer 1938, Spiess is not appearing in the list. So, seemingly, he died before this date but I have no more details.

Not necessarily, there are many reasons why a ship would go for repairs at any time of her life and not only hits in a submarine attack.

Justin,
There is UB 46 at the Turkish Naval Museum, Istanbul but it is only remains far from being intact.
Maybe better chance with UB 9 at Sevastopol but I have no information about that one

14. Re: U 19
Moin Michael
Basiscally you are right Spiess was in charge of U 19 all year long especially during war patrols. In the meantime for some periods ashore he was replaced by Heinrich Koch (in deputize) probably while Spiess was on leave.
Does this replies to your question ?

22. Re: SS Hector
On Nov.15th a strong gale was blowing in this area with a rather low pressure zone centered on Ireland. Hector might have disappeared in that circumstance. In any case, she is not U-Boat related.

Good morning Regio
What is the source of your information sunk off Capo Bellavista. The only information we had here at uboat.net was only "Mediterranean" With a more accurate location such as you say, it becomes easier to find which U-Boats could have been that day in the area.

I have not that KTB, my source of information is Dwight Messimer in the book previously quoted, he is a very reliable historian. Per this source, U 22 returned Emden on 21st after discovering he had torpedoed U 7.

Undoubtedly U7 was mistakenly sunk by U22.
On 20 jan. U22 departed Emden en route for Zeebrugge on her way to tranfer to the Flandern Flott. The following day they encountered a surfaced submarine which did not challenge the recognition signal and seemed to try to evade. U22 came in an attacking position and fired 2 torpedos, one of them hitting just forward the conning tower.

Hi
According to Gröner German Warships vol. 2
In the 1917 rebuild undertaken on UB12 and intended for UB10, 16 and 17,, the torpedo tubes were replaced by four 100mm mine-launching tubes (8 type UC 200 mines)
