<< If you don't know the story of Captain Fryatt it is worth reading it upt. I note yor article says he attempted to ram the U-boat, but it is pretty certain he succeeded, and then the Germans shot him for committing a war crime. His ship captured and anchored at the entrance to Zeebrugge later proved to be a bit of a hazard for the raid on the port. It beats me why there was still a cross channel ferry running to Holland at that stage of the war. >>

The Netherlands were neutral  during WW I.
