U-152 (German Submarine, 1917)
Comes alongside its prize, the Norwegian bark Stifinder,
on 13 October 1918. The bark was sunk after being captured in
the western mid-Atlantic. She appears to be flying a Spanish
flag.
At this time U-152 had two U.S. Navy officers on board
as prisoners of war, captured when she sank USS Ticonderoga
(ID # 1958) on 30 September 1918. They were Lieutenant Frank
L. Muller, USNRF, Ticonderoga's Executive Officer, and
Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Junius H. Fulcher, USNRF.
