Through HozeI Eyes

leans from May 8 to August Is, 1912,
in the intense submarine campaign
waged by the German High Com
mand during World War II to Grip
pie u shipping and make more
difficult our s~uccessful prosecution
Of the war. Six ships during this
same period were attacked but man
aged to escape and make port.
A total Of 434 gallant merchant
seamen and naval armed guardsmen
were killed in the Eighth Naval Dis
trict during the 1928 period.
196,970 gross tonnage was sunk.
Forty-four ships were attacked in
the waters under the jurisdiction of
this district which comprises that
portion of the Gulf of Mexico west
Of a straight line drawn from the
mouth Of the Apalachicola River in
Florida to the west tip Of the Yucca
tan channel between Cuba and
Mexico.
AS many as three submarines
were known to be operating at one
time in this area and several ships
were boldly sunk at the mouth of
the Mississippi river.
The first sinking occurred May 6,
1912 when the American cargo ship
Alcoa Puritan was fired upon. The
entire crew of Al survived the attack
and were picked up by a Coast
Guard cutter.
On July 30th Of 1912 the Robert
E. Lee, a combination passenger
cargo ship, carrying 406 persons was
torpedoed off the Mississippi River
Passes. Two hundred and seventy
were passengers and many of them
were survivors from seven torpedoed
vessels. Over a hundred were injur-
ed and "a lives lost at this time.
The last sinking in the Eighth
district vas Dec. 3, 1913 and was the
American tanker, Touchet, loaded
with 10000 barrels Of oil and clip
ping off II knots on her maiden
voyage. Ten naval armed guardsmer
lost their lives in this sinking.
Fishermen and shrimpers on tn.
coast are credited with helping i'm.
measurably with the submarine
campaign. They alone brought in 81
survivors from torpedoed ships. II
addition they helped by reporting
positions of surfaced submarine.
and by forcing subs to keep sub
merged.
Thus a thrilling chapter of the
! war was written right in our owl
backwards and most of us knew
very little just how close the fight.
