封鎖突破船の任を負ったドイツの商用潜水艇「ドイッチュラント」が海上封鎖を潜り抜けボルチモアに到着。
The German merchant submarine Deutschland reached Baltimore, successfully breaching the Allied blockade during World War I.
On July 8, 1916, the merchant submarine Deutschland completed its historic voyage by arriving in Baltimore, Maryland, after evading the British and French naval blockade. Built to transport critical goods between neutral and Central Powers’ nations, the vessel demonstrated innovative submarine design for commercial use. Its silent approach and reinforced hull allowed it to slip past enemy patrols and deliver much-needed supplies to Germany’s allies. The mission showcased the potential of submarines beyond warfare, influencing maritime logistics and naval engineering. It also tested U.S. neutrality before America entered the war.
