Workd War One history for the day

The BBC has an article, part of the BBC World War One at Home series, by Shaun Peel (and a video) about the German surrender:

Dozens of German U-boats officially surrendered to Allied forces shortly after the Armistice in November of 1918, to become one of the most unusual tourists attractions ever seen off the Essex coast. It was estimated that up to two hundred U-boats, along with various other German ships and support machinery, were escorted by British ships into the River Stour estuary. The commanding officer of the Harwich Force, Admiral Tyrwhitt, gave strict orders to his sailors there was to be "no communication whatsoever" with the Germans.
The fleet stretched for two miles down the river outside Parkeston Quay in Harwich.

Rico says it's another delightful piece of lost history...
