3 hrs confidence:
recompense Explanation: I can't find any references - we need Kim for that - but there was a War Fund for the financing of lost/destroyed ships. There was nothing "generous" about it - otherwise, the US would have had to finance the entire country. |

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1"Settlement Claim" Explanation: It certainly doesn't mean "grant" or "waiver". (Freigabe often is translated "release" or "settlement". Here it is safer to use the broader term, "settlement".) (This may be a court lawsuit, or a claim before a special commission.) |

| Reference: Info Reference information: The first measure was to commandeer the German and Austrian vessels interned in American ports since the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Customs officials seized the 97 vessels on 6 April 1917. The day of the declaration of war, but some of the German crews still managed to damage the ships. All the enemy ships were welcome, and in tonnage they vastly exceeded the prewar U.S.-flag foreign trade fleet; particularly valuable were the passenger liners, including the Vaterland, renamed the Leviathan, the second largest ship then afloat in the world. By midsummer 1917, the German ships were repaired and put back in service under the U.S. flag, a task complicated by the location of many of these ships in overseas possessions ranging from Puerto Rico to the distant Philippines and Samoa. http://www.ellisisland.org/shipping/shipping_board_wwi.asp |
