Walther Eberbach, England’s Greeting to the Neutral Tubantia, 1916, 70mm, Blackened cast iron.
Obverse: Death (Germany) sits on the bank with raised bomb and torpedo aimed at the Dutch passenger liner Tubantia.
Reverse: ES KANN DER BESTE NICHT IN FRIEDEN LEBEN WENN ES DEM BOSEN NACHBARN NICHT GEFALLT, 1916. Rough translation is “It cannot live the best in peace if the neighbor does not please.”
U-boat, SM UB13 under the command of Oblt.z.S. Metz sank the neutral Dutch steamer SS Tubantia with a torpedo on March 15, 1916. It is rumored that the ship was supposed to have German gold treasures on board. There were some mysterious intelligence agency involvements relating to this sinking and, to date, her cargo and reasoning for being sunk have not been properly resolved.
