WWI, Captured U-Boat Crew, 1918

Officers and crew of the German submarine U-58 entering the War Prison Camp at Fort McPherson, Georgia. SM U-58 was one of the 329 submarines serving in the Imperial German Navy in World War I. The Action of November 17, 1917 was a naval battle fought between a German submarine and two United States Navy destroyers in the North Atlantic Ocean. The USS Fanning and USS Nicholson's sinking of U-58 was one of only a few engagements of World War I in which U.S. Navy warships sank an enemy submarine, and the first time U.S. ships sank a submarine in combat. Photo taken by Mathewson & Winn, April 1918.
