SS Burdigala
SS Burdigala – better known SS Kaiser Friedrich – was a French and ex-German Ocean liner that hit a mine laid by U-73 (the same submarine which sunk HMHS Britannic) in the Agean sea 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest off Kea, Greece (37°40′N 24°17′E / 37.667°N 24.283°E), while she was travelling from Thessaloniki, Greece to Toulon, France. She was one of the most famous ships in German naval history almost following in the footsteps of SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse as the greatest German Ocean liner in the world. At least if it hadn't been for her engines.
