I grew up in Auckland and was told about Von Luckner first hand by my great grandmother who was in her 20s at the time. The prison was a on nice island in the harbour, and the crew and guards got on so well that the guards stopped caring guns and truncheons and just had police whistles. The escape was made while some of the remaining Germans put on a Christmas show... to which the guards were invited. Von Luckner returned to NZ after the war and gave talks that were very popular. Its true that in all his WW1 adventures no one was killed. I think he even let one captain go back to his ship to get the ship's cat.

He was a sailor before he joined the navy, that might have played a big part of it.

My dad told me about the Lowell Thomas book "The Sea Devil - The Story Of Count Felix Von Luckner, The German War Raider" back in the late 1950's or early 1960s. The book was a big hit in it's day, and I still have a copy. Von Luckner is quite a story teller and it's a good, entertaining read. I also saw the account of the ships wrecking that differed--an officer who should have been more careful, allowed the anchor to drag or otherwise caused the ship to hit the reef. Von Luckner was loyal to the guy and concocted the tidal wave story. The story of his early years at sea are as engrossing as the WWI years. He was a huge guy, 6'4" and about 250#, of German nobility. The 1950's TV show "This is Your Life" did a program on him--used to be available on KZread.

Thomas wrote several book narrated by Luckner . The one I remember was the "Devils Forcastle". Where he quit the Russian ship he first took on at age 13 and traveled by hook or quirk to Colorado to visit Buffalo Bill. When he got to the home of "Bill" the house keeper said he was in Europe. Go figure all those books were in fact great reads I read them in the mid 1970s

I was riveted to the story, and can not help think what an amazing movie that would make, in the right hands. Awesome story Dude!

A code of honor, when a code of honor mattered.

Von Luckner did not come up with the idea. He was selected for command as he was one of the only German naval officers who was qualified to command a big square rigged ship. Stories of her demise may not be quite as Von Luckner claimed: it could be her anchors slipped. And, supposedly there was one casualty, He escaped the POW prison, and was recaptured. Von Luckner was lionized by both sides after the war as a gentleman who fought with great honor. He detested Hitler and the Nazis and was hounded out of Germany with his property confiscated. His adventures would make a movie as good as Master and Commander, with the added element of it being true.

Just consider how much skill these individuals had. I mean not just the daring Captain, but all the disparate crew both German and captured who, when placed in a bad situation, simply rigged up a new ship and sailed without benefit of advanced devices across the emptiness of the Pacific Ocean to tiny dots on the map.

Great yarn! German commerce raiders and U Boats were used successfully in both world wars. They were based on the success of Confederate commerce raiders during the War of Northern Agression. By war's end all American merchant shipping had been swept from the seas, such that the CSS Shenandoah sailed from England to Alaska before finding an American ship. CSN Admiral Raphael Simms, who commanded the CSS Alabama, was studied extensively by the German Navy, as was Confederate Calvary general Nathan Bedford Forrest by army panzer officers planning tank tactics. The American Civil War was the actually the first modern war, deploying rifled small arms and artillery, exploding artillery ammunition, iron clad ships, submarines, gatling guns and eventually trench warfare. Despite the large numbers of foreign military observers, war correspondents and even foreign nobility who came over to fight, the Germans were the only ones to learn anything and put it into practice!! If you're ever in Frisco tour the Balcalutha, another last generation iron hulled sailing ship that remained in service until at least the 1930s or '40s.

The submarine didn't make it's military debut in WWI. For example, there was the H. L. Hunley used in the US Civil War 5 decades before WWI. Or the Turtle used in 1775.

Might I suggest a story on Gustavus Conyngham, an absolute legend of a commerce raider.

Von Luckner was the inspiration for the exploits of Kapitan Bernhard Rogge in the Second World War. Many captains of the era were not Nazis at all, and played a subtle game of serving their country while not serving partisan politics. Rogge managed to sink an impressive amount of tonnage, and much to his regret, did take a couple of lives when a ship he was boarding attempted to man a gun at point blank range. At the end of the war, Rogge was one of the only officers not tried at Nurnberg, and played an important role in post war recovery in Germany. Definitely worth a video.

Love this story, I built the Sea Adler as a kid.

The Germans used horses and donkeys very successfully in the second world war also. In the USSR they often had to have horses extract trucks and cars from the mud. They were used by the allies in the Pacific campaign also.

Suggestion for more old timey obsolete ships: An Australia company built 4 x 75,000t coal fired ships for hauling bauxite in the 1980s, which the last was retired in 2012. SS River Boyne was the last in service. I know its hard to find technical info on though, no Wikipedia page.

Sailing stories are the best

Looking into the history of hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser) SMS Seeadler I came across a curious thing. In paintings, Seeadler is shown as a square-rigged ship and as a schooner. While it's certainly possible to refit a ship it's not a job for a ship's crew at sea. That is a task for a shipyard, dozens of craftsmen, and tons of wood and sailcloth. Very odd. One picture of Seeadler rigged as a schooner was painted by German marine artist Willy Stöwer, who painted the same ship square-rigged. Very odd, indeed. Do an image search on Willy Stöwer Seeadler and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The pronunciation of Seeadler made me chuckle.
