Sailors of the German navy were able to save most people, but 16 people died because they could not swim, including two children. This catastrophe led to the foundation of the “Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft (DLRG)” (German lifesaving organization) on 19 October 1913 in Leipzig.FREE SHIPPING
