Talk:SS Kronprinz Wilhelm

(Lux)
Heard about this anecdotally, adding the info here in case a solid reference can be found to include it in the article later: Hans Fredrick Wilhelm Lux also served on the Kronprinz Wilhelm during the 251-day journey. He was born as a Dane, just north of Flensburg, Germany. At 14 he joined the Merchant Marines to avoid being pulled into military service, but when he was 16 he snuck ashore to visit his mother and was caught trying to get back aboard his ship and was consequently forced into naval service. He had a knack for determining distances over water, a useful skill in the days before radar! Elonka 05:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Is being born as a Dane anything like being reincarnated as a Frog? --Jerzy•t 07:37, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Alfred von Niezychowski
Her executive officer was a count, one presumes by descent from the Polish nobility that had run that country prior to one of the partitions of Poland (which IIRC benefitted the second Reich), and held (i assume by inheritance) a title from the Second Reich. He wrote a memoir, The Cruise of the Kronprinz Wilhelm, settled in Detroit after the ship was surrendered due to IIRC lack of fuel or provisions, ran for the state legislature, and told war stories c. 1959 and perhaps later yet. His memoir was published (at least in the US) by then. --Jerzy•t 07:24, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

The incident where it crashed directly into an iceberg and lived in 1907 ought to be added.184.186.4.209 (talk) 18:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
