SS KÖNIG ALBERT
Germany

SS König Albert was a German ocean liner owned by the Norddeutscher Lloyd Line of Bremen. The ship was built by Stettiner Vulcan of Stettin, and launched in 1899. She sailed on her maiden voyage from Hamburg, via the Suez Canal to the Far East. She completed eight round voyages on this service and was then transferred on 3 March 1903 to the Bremen - Cherbourg - New York City route for a single voyage. On 16 April 1903 she went to the Genoa - Naples - New York City run and stayed mainly on this service until commencing her last voyage on 11 June 1914. Interned in Italy at the outbreak of World War I, she was seized by the Italian Government in 1915, renamed the Ferdinando Palasciano and converted to a hospital ship. On 20 January 1916 off the Albanian coast she was captured as a prize by the Austro-Hungarian Navy U-boat U-11, and escorted into their naval base of Cattaro. She was later handed back to the Italians. In 1920, the ship was chartered to Navigazione Generale Italiana of Genoa and on 15 June 1920 commenced her first voyage Genoa - Naples - New York. She completed six round trip voyages on this route, the last one commencing 13 April 1921. She was used also as a transport for the Royal Italian Navy, before being scrapped in 1926.

The Linge Memorial Museum is a memorial to the First World War. The Linge was a battlefield around the Linge Pass, where a particularly deadly clash between the French and German armies took place between July 20 and October 16, 1915, resulting in approximately 20,000 casualties, including approximately 3,500 deaths on each side during the Battle of Linge. A war of position ensued, with skirmishes and artillery duels, lasting until November 11, 1918. The museum provides access to the remains of the battlefield, including trenches, bunkers, and more.

[The London County Council Tramways was an extensive network of public street tramways that was operated by the council throughout the County of London, UK, from 1899 to 1933, when they were taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board. On 15 May 1903 the first electrified section from Westminster to Tooting was opened by The Prince and Princess of Wales who rode the route in a specially decorated tramcar, and paid their fares with halfpenny coins minted for the occasion. The last horse tram ran on the 30 April 1915. Much of the system used a conduit system of electrical current, as the metropolitan boroughs had the power of veto on the installation of overhead wires.]
