Ship Losses:
Stasia (France) The schooner caught fire at Shanghai, China and was scuttled to extinguish the fire. Note however that the log of the gunboat HMS Gnat ( Royal Navy) records being called on to sink a burning ship by gunfire, in the International Dock Shanghai, on 14 November, so this is presumably the same incident.
SM U-165 (Imperial German Navy) The Type U 93 submarine sank in the Weser (53°10′N 8°53′E). She was raised on 21 February 1919 and subsequently scrapped.
