Deutschland at Baltimore Harbour by Ivan Berryman. [Postcard]

On 9th July 1916, with Captain Paul Koenig in command, the German merchant submarine Deutschland entered Baltimore Harbour after a 16-day crossing of the Atlantic from Bremerhaven on a peaceful trade mission and was greeted by a flotilla of tugs and small sight-seeing vessels. Upon arrival in the bay, the German merchant flag was hoisted and many of her 29 crew appeared on her narrow deck to enjoy the moment. The visit was greeted with considerable controversy at the time, given that Europe was at this time at war with Germany, but this unusual event passed peacefully with Deutschland returning home safely the following month.
