If it is the U-73 then it's responsible for sinking the biggest ship in WW1, the 48,758 ton hospital ship RMS Britannic that struck a mine laid by it off the Greek island of Kea on the 21st of November 1916 with the loss of 30 lives out of a total of 1,065 people on board. That wreck is still the largest passenger ship on the seabed anywhere.
Regards, Ned.
'I do not think we can hope for any better thing now.
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
Last Entry - For God's sake look after our people.'
In memory of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans. South Pole Expedition, 30th March 1912.

Actually the position of the deck gun would lead me to rule out the U-73, whose deck gun faced rearward. Must be the UB or UC 73
