"The Kronprinz Wilhelm powerful first account of the First World War German 'Mystery Cruiser' that became an auxiliary warship from 1914-1915 for the Imperial German Navy. This ship cruised around the Atlantic throughout the opening year of the war eluding her enemies in a remarkable 40,000-mile voyage, capturing and sinking 14 British, French and Norwegian merchant ships without loss of life to either their passengers or crew. Eventually the raider gave herself up to the neutral United States and when America entered the war in 1917 she was seized and served as a United States Navy troop transport until she was decommissioned and turned over to the United States Shipping Board, where she remained in service until she was scrapped in 1923.".
