General History:
01/01/1917: The Swedish steamer CARRIE had been captured by a German submarine and the crew abandoned the vessel for the ship’s boats. On the arrival of the KINALDIE and the FUSILIER, the submarine submerged, but the crew refused to return to their vessel, so the two trawlers towed the CARRIE to port and claimed salvage.
