Deutschland Submarine Roams Atlantic to Bremen Reunion
The German commerce submarine Deutschland evaded a fleet of eight English warships and American fishing schooners when leaving the Virginia Capes August 2. Capt. Koenig and crew were greeted in Bremen after crossing the Atlantic, noting that schooners laid nets to gauge soundings and signal allied ships if the sub surfaced. The crew reported American neutrality observations and unclear French warship involvement as the voyage totaled 4,200 miles with the submarine remaining submerged much of the journey.
