Deutschlandmodel, Thumb Dog. A few years ago, Tom Greensfelder posted images of a kit of that submarine with some information about its voyage in 1916 to my home town of Baltimore, Maryland (

The Maryland Historical Society (
Maryland Historical Society | Museum and Library | Baltimore, MD) holds images of Deutschland's visit. Here are the finding aids of the Society related to Deutschland:
