Monument 10 Dead Hun Marine Memorial
A report by Consul Francis R. Stewart to the American commission describes Hamburg as a ghost port of dead glories for the German merchant marine. He notes idle tugs, a deserted cruiser, motionless cranes, and ports ready for delivery to allies while ships like the Bismarck and Deutschland loom as grim reminders of past prowess. Regular service to Holland, England, and North America lingers as a dead port era ends and a new season nears. The text also details the planned international baseball league with Vancouver, Victoria, Spokane, Tacoma, Yakima, Seattle, opening May 6 and running through September, led by managers with major-league ties.
