German U-Boat Sunk in Lake Michigan
The first shot at an enemy craft in 117 years, 7 June 1921, on the Great Lakes, was fired in
Lake Michigan near Chicago when the destroyer Wilmette (IX-29)
fired her guns on the German submarine UC-97 which was assigned to the United States by the
terms of the armistice. Thirteen shots were fired altogether, but one would have been sufficient, as the first shot, fired by the same boy who fired the first American
torpedo in the late war, was a direct hit. The illustration shows, above, the firing of that first shot, and below, the submarine as the shell exploded. |
