Hello,
The German steamer PETER RICKMERS was scuttled off Beirut port on 16.12.1914. In German reports of January 1916 it was stated that French warships (sometimes stated as torpedoboats and sometimes as aux. vessel) twice from December 1914 to Janaury 1916 mounted explosives charges at the wrecks funnel which was out of the waterline as well as her masts.
Can anyone provide me with informations about those actions and especially the date and which French vessel were involved in those actions?
Many thanks for your help.
