I have military information that several soldiers (in my town and family) died on June 8, 1916 during WWI due to a sinking ship. So, I am very curious and would like to know more. I plugged the date into several search engines (in english) and could not find anything. Does anyone know where I can go to find out more? Thanks. |

I think that the ship is the "Principe Umberto". Try this link: Caduti della prima guerra mondiale This is a picture of the ship. |

Cathy, In doing some additional checking I discovered that the correct designation of the submarine which torpedoed the Principe Umberto was the SMU-5 captained by George Ritter von Trapp. If his name is familiar that's because he is the same von Trapp from the Sound of Music. www.istrianet.org/istr.../index.htm Biff |
