Notes on Leelanaw Began Destruction by German Submarine
Washington reports the torpedoing of the American steamer Leelanaw by a German submarine off Orkneys on July 2. Consul Dennison’s account says the crew escaped, the ship was signaled for papers, and after papers were exchanged the submarine fired five shots and torpedoed the vessel. The master kept ship papers, and the Leelanaw sank in about 1 hour 20 minutes. The incident raises questions about prize rules and salvage under the 1828 Russo-American treaty.
