British steamers "Yarrowdale" and "St.Theodore" halted at sea and ordered to follow German cruiser SMS Möwe during World War I...
British ships seized by Germany on high seas. View of the English Steamer "Yarrowdale," with cargo of ammunition (5,800 tons) and 100 new trucks. (Note: This ship was later taken to Swinemünde by Lieutenant D.R. Badewitz.) Yarrowdale's occupants are seen crowding her deck. The English Steamer, "St.Theodore," carrying 7366 tons of coal for the Italians, is halted and is commanded to follow the SMS Möwe. (Note: The Germans later refitted this ship as the auxiliary Steamer, "Geier.") View from the Cruiser Moewe, as the St. Theodore follows in fairly rough seas. To ease congestion on the SMS Möwe, British "prisoners" are transferred to the Yarrowdale for the journey. View of them on deck, including three African American crewmen. View of three British ships' captains on board. Group of British "prisoners" rowing to the Yarrowdale, to be take aboard.
