SMS Cap Trafalgar
SMS ''Cap Trafalgar'' (also called ''Cape Trafalgar'') was a German passenger liner converted to an auxiliary cruiser during World War I. The ship holds the dubious distinction of being the first armed merchant cruiser to have been sunk by a ship of the same class; she was destroyed in a furious action in the South Atlantic in September 1914 soon after the start of the war.
==Early career==
The passenger liner SS ''Cap Trafalgar'' was built at the AG Vulcan Shipyard on the Elbe River in Hamburg, Germany for the ''Hamburg-South America Line'' for their service between Germany and the River Plate (Río de la Plata). She was named after the Spanish Cape Trafalgar, scene of the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. A three-funneled vessel of length and beam, she measured 18,710 GRT and could carry nearly 1,600 passengers (400 1st class, 276 2nd class, 913 3rd or steerage class. A triple-screw vessel, her outer propellers were powered by two triple-expansion steam engines, and the centre screw by an exhaust turbine, an arrangement similar to that of the ''RMS Titanic''.
When ''Cap Trafalgar'' began her maiden voyage on 10 April 1914 from Hamburg for South American ports in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, she was the largest vessel hitherto on the South American service and among the most luxurious.〔〔
