Abstract:
During the summer of 1918, the German submarine U-117 stalked the coast of the United States, sinking military and commercial shipping alike. On August 15th, the U-117 torpedoed the British tanker 'Mirlo' off of Cape Hatteras. The nearby Chicamacomico Coast Guard livesaving station responded to rescue the wayward British sailors.
