Trap ships became a unique weapon against German submarines, which launched an unlimited war with Allied merchant shipping during the First World War. The fateful meeting of the submarine U-41 under the command of Otto Herzing with one of the most successful trap ships "Baralong" is told by the miraculously surviving watch officer A. Crompton. For propaganda or political reasons, the real effectiveness of the new anti-submarine method was distorted by the warring parties. The exaggerated results of their hunt in the reports of British commanders, as well as the unknown fate of many submarines that did not return to their bases, further confused the situation. This publication is supplemented with a historical essay by N. Tymoshenko, which actualizes the role of trap ships in the World War on the basis of the latest underwater surveys and published archival data. For a wide range of readers.
