Uh...question. Were the Germans operating U-boats in the North Atlantic in 1912? If so, why would they feel the need to sink passenger/commerce shipping two years prior to the start of WWI?

I may be a little fuzzy on my history here.

Jagdwehr, NOBODY in his right mind could possibly believe this idiotic story. Its the most laughable thing I have ever read. Its the sort of rubbish that appears on the front page of Supermarket pulp magazines along with articles like "Woman gives birth to devil", or "Flying saucers planted congressional leaders in the Senate", or "Man sees picture of Christ appear on top of a sausage and anchovy pizza".

A better question is: What are the chances of a 1912 U boat catching and being able to hit,at night, a ship as fast as this one? Answer: almost zero.
