  • \”Seeadler\” photos….Letter from the Felix Count von Luckner Society

    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stolnitz,

    what a suprise you made for us. I really would have loved being with you
    when going down to the wreck of the legendary Seeadler. Perhaps I will have
    the chance one time.

    Thank you very much for sending us this information and the link to the
    wonderful pictures.

    Indeed one of our members long time ago also went down and even had the
    chance to take two pieces of the wreck with him. Did you have the chance
    too?

    Did you also see the island itself? Is there still anything to be seen
    remembering the Count\’s \”visit\” in 1917?

    In our society we are most interested in such information and pictures you
    have taken. I think in one of our next newsletters I will tell about the
    story and will provide the link to your website to our members.

    Hope to hear from you again!

    Thanks once more and best regards
    Matthias J. Maurer
