APRA HARBOR, Guam (April 7, 2017) -- Several U.S., German and Guam distinguished visitors on board a charter boat in Apra Harbor honor and pay tribute to the SMS Cormoran memorial that divers took 120 feet below the surface to be placed onto the ship, marking 100 years since its scuttling by the Germans and in response to the United States' first involvement in World War I in the Pacific. The memorial, a 10-foot wreath, sign and a German Army Imperial flag were affixed to the Cormoran below the surface to commemorate a significant piece of U.S. and Guam history 100 years later.
