Wonder no more Sam, no uboat entered the St. Lawrence River during WWI. Uboats did sink ships off the northeastern coast of the USA and Canada. Among them was the U53 sinking 5 ships in 1916. U117, U140, 151 and U156 also sank ships. There is a lot more info in the WWI section and WWI Forum section of this site. Respectfully, Joe R

Hi Again Pete, I am really interested in why you would believe the dispatches and the personal account of an officer on a CL. These reports were extremely inaccurate. Let me repeat, NO UBOAT WAS LOST AT JUTLAND. See periscope, shoot at periscope. No more periscope. AHA U Boat sunk! All part of the fog of war.

Air ships were also deployed by the HSF. A complete order of battle can be found here Hope this sheds some light on the subject. Respectfully, Joe R
