Michael Lowrey Posted 1 December , 2005 Share Posted 1 December , 2005 In April 1915, the Unterseeboot Flottilla Flanders was in service, after that the small U-Boat UB10 had arrived at Zeebrugge. The UB-Boats were small size submarines, suited to operate in the shallow waters of the Dover Strait and East England. They carried two 45 cm torpedoes. Built in Germany, they were transported in parts to Belgium and were assembled at the shipyards of Hoboken near Antwerp. Pic : UB 5 during diving training. Two corrections. First, the submarine type you are referring to was the UBI class. There were actually three UB classes of smaller torpedo attack boats: UBI, UBII, and UBIII. "Smaller" is a relative term and is in comparision to the ocean going U-series boats. The UBIIIs were actually medium-sized boats capable of operating in the open Atlantic and with sufficient range to get to the Adriatic from Germany. Also, though the first few UBIs sent to Flanders were disassembled and reassembles in Antwerp, later boats of the class sailed directly from Germany to Zeebrugge or Ostende.

Michael Lowrey Posted 1 December , 2005 Share Posted 1 December , 2005 Zeebrugge. On 28/3/1915 the neutral Dutch steamer Zaanstroom was brought in. On her way from Amsterdam to London, she was intercepted by U28. The Zaanstroom transported food supplies, and also French and Belgian passengers, who were considered by the Germans as prisoners of war. This is a very odd pic. The submarine in the foreground is of the UBI class (UB 1 to UB 17 series) and most definitely not the far larger U 28. And the first UBI didn't commission in Flanders until March 23, 1915, five days after U 28 brought in the Dutch steamers Batavier V and Zaanstroom as prizes. (The March 18 date is verified correct by U 28's KTB.) Best wishes, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 1 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 December , 2005 Hello Michael, This is not a photo but a drawing, and the author used his imagination. I agree with You this sub don't ressemble U 28 Regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 18 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 18 December , 2005 Hello Michael, Your post 118. The UB10 was of the UBI-class and was a small U-boat. See pic of UB6 (same UBI-class) of U-Boat Flotilla Flanders, interned in the Netherlands on 12/3/1917. This clearly shows the small size. Regards, Cnock.
