Lettens Jan01/04/2010UB-124, cmdr. Wutsdorff, III Flotilla was forced to surface off North of Ireland by depth charges, 20 July 1918 and was then sunk by gunfire. She had just sunk the 32.234 grt troopship HMS Justicia and was chased by torpedoboats Marne, Milbrook en Pigeon. The German version of the story is a bit different: Severely damaged by D/C attack, she surfaced and was scuttled by her crew. 2 dead, unknown number of survivors.

Lettens Jan01/04/2010When WWI began, the works on NASM´s prestigious ship, Statenham were delayed. Statendam was supposed to be the flagship of the company. With 706 crew, she had accomodations for 600 1st class, 600 2nd class and 2300 3rd class passengers. The British decided to continue to finish the ship. In 1916 she was ready and renamed Justicia and was supposed to be managed by Cunard (names ending with -ia). However, the White Star line (ship´s name ending with -ic) just lost their Brittanic and had plenty of crew available. As a consequence, they were appointed to manage the Justicia. This is a unique case, where an -ia named ship was being managed by their worst competitor. On Friday 19th, 1918, she was twice hit by torpedos from UB-64. Justicia lost power and was then taken in tow by HMS Sonia. The next day however, she was again torpedoed twice by another U-boot UB-124 and sank. UB-64 escaped, but UB-124 was successfully hunted and sunk.
