The Independent of Nov 13, 1916, page 272 books.google.com/books?id=TrbPAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA272&l... indicates that the Deutschland was "back" in New London. The expectation was that a regular undersea service between Bremen and New London was to be established.

Catalogue of official A.E.F. photographs (1919): "41011. One of guns mounted on deck of German- U-boat 155. Caliber 5.9, length 20 feet. Marked Nr. 1412 L, Fried Krupp, 1917, 3984 Kg. London, England. December 4, 1918. " archive.org/stream/cu31924027944598/#page/n455/mode/2up "Deutschland was a blockade-breaking German merchant submarine used during World War I. It was developed with private funds and operated by the North German Lloyd Line. She was one of the first of seven U-151 class U-boats built and one of only two used as unarmed cargo submarines. After making two voyages as an unarmed merchantman, she was taken over by the German Imperial Navy on 19 February 1917 and converted into U-155, armed with six torpedo tubes and two deck guns." "U-155 returned to Germany from her final cruise on 12 November 1918 and was surrendered on 24 November 1918 with other submarines as part of the terms of the Armistice. She was taken to Britain and exhibited in London and elsewhere and was eventually sold for scrap in 1921. On 17 September 1921 she was being broken up at Robert Smith and Sons, Birkenhead, when an explosion ripped the ship apart, killing five apprentices" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_Deutschland#War_se...

LOC -- Your title needs emending -- "Grosser," not "Grosse" -- see the inscription on the lifesaving flotation ring.

Also it's "Kurfürst," with an umlaut.

Wystan and Jim Rees: Thanks for pointing out the typos. We'll fix them next time we update the record.

The fellow in the center, wearing a business suit, looks like Lionel Carden, the British envoy to Mexico, who in October 1913 (about the time of the Volturno disaster) was expelled by Carranza and recalled to London, for his criticism of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson:
