Blockade Breakers "Steigerwald" & "Dania"

[Guest Rick Research]

While I have the SECOND World War services of blockade runners, I have ZERO on the FIRST World War ones.

Since a local friend has just turned up the imperial navy dagger of the 1st Officer of both these vessels for the times specified, has anybody got any information on their voyages?

Hallo Rick,

this might not be directly connected to your item, but there was a comemorative Naval Medal issued for bringing guns and ammunition through the British Blockade in WW1 to the I.R.A in Ireland.

Possibly the medal is unofficial but the rear dedication was in Irish language!!
