| Abstract | In 1915 Ruedebush families in Mayville learned that the German ship Kronprinz Wilhelm had put into port at Newport News and was interned. A relative of the families, Lieut. Henry (Heinz, Heinrich) Ruedebusch received leave to visit for two weeks. Henry regaled his hosts with stories of life on the "sea raider," and "contradict[ed] postively the oft-heard newspaper talk of German cruelty." Henry left Mayville to return to the ship, but along with several other officers, apparently broke parole and was never heard from again. |
