Rear Admiral Knight notified Harbormaster Shea and Deputy Walcott as the German U-53 glided into Newport harbor near Goat Island. The submarine, with 33 aboard, anchored quietly after a brief exchange and a tour for guests including Titanic survivors. Officials said the U-53 earned warship privileges, with port, provisioning, coaling, and 24 hour stay rights, while debate continued on broader German submarine aims and potential impact on Canadian troop movements.
