A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Torpedo Boat Is Sunk.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 15, 1912:
Six Men Are Lost in a Collision of German War Vessels.
CUXHAVEN, Sept. 14.— The German torpedo boat G-171 was rammed to-day by the German battleship Zahringen sixteen miles southwest of Helgoland.
The torpedo boat sank within fifteen minutes. Six men were lost.
