Excerpt from Shipbuilding and Shipping Record, Vol. 10: September 13, 1917 We have before observed that the attitude of the German lines (and particularly of the Hapag) to their partners in the poo has been of an intensely aggressive character. Every opportunity was seized to make the foreign (or non-german) lines subservient to their will, not only in regard to passenger traffic but also in the matter of freight.

Excerpt from Shipbuilding and Shipping Record, Vol. 31 Dear Sir, I have not the slightest objection to your using the verbal report which I made to Captain Wilson commending your Hercules Lifeboat, indeed I consider I am doing a public service in drawing attention to its merits. As you are aware, your boats had a very stern and searching test on the occasion of the loss of the TSS "Cameronia" and we found the Hercules boats thoroughly efficient and seaworthy and capable of carrying numbers very largely in excess of those allotted to the boats by Board of Trade measurement. In at least one case 115 men were accommodated in a Hercules boat the capacity of which was rated at 66 adults by the B.O.T. Measurement. It is my considered opinion that it was largely owing to your boats safely carrying these large numbers that the loss of life was, in view of the numbers carried, so small. At the first opportunity after the ship was equipped with your Hercules boats I experimented with them to test their carrying capacity. Boat used was No. 6A, which was certified to carry 66 persons. I put 100 of the crew on her. These were well accommodated and on the boat being sent away from the ship with this complement on board, it was possible to swing the oars and keep her under moderate weigh. I also trimmed the boat to one side, listing so that the gunwale strake was immersed. To do this we had to transfer 31 men from port to starboard. A small amount of water found its way into the boat from below the collapsible pieces, an amount that could easily be dealt with by baling. With no one on board the boat floated at 18 inches freeboard - measured from top of gunwale strake. With 100 persons on board she had 91/2 inches...
