One had a short life after being shelled and sunk in the North Sea by HMS Lance on August 5, 1914. Launched in May 1913, records show it first served as a steam ferry between Hamburg and Holland before being requisitioned by the German Admiralty to serve as a minelayer. As a minelayer, Königin Luise was disguised in the black, buff, and yellow colours of the steamers of the Great Eastern Railway that sailed between Harwich in England and the Hook of Holland when it left Emden on August 4 for its fateful meeting with the British warships. The other Königin Luise (this photo) was an ocean liner, and later a troopship, before it returned to work as a passenger liner. (au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/travel/a/22710085/tale-of-two-s...)
