Turner is the German captain of Unterseeboot-20. Doyle and his fellow believers stand in contrast to the hubris of those thinking the British Empire was hardly going to be threatened by men stuffed into a capsule beneath the surface of the ocean. Doyle even wrote a short story that featured a fictionalized country of no great power nearly bringing England to its knees with a fleet of less than ten submarines. The creator of Sherlock Holmes makes a brief appearance through reference as one of the precious few Brits who actually has the prescience to realize that submarines were going to change naval warfare forever. Turner preferred to eat his meals in his quarters rather share in the camaraderie of the dining room and his outright rejection of the possibility for German U-boats to bring down his ship is just one piece of a puzzle of hubris that doomed the vessel. The Captain of Lusitania was equally scornful of passengers and the threat posed to them by German submarines. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
