Hans Hamann, commander of Peilboot 5, Tsingtau.
The Peilboot IV was built in 1914 at the state-owned shipyard in Tsingtau in the German colony of Kiautschou. It belonged to the Imperial Navy.
The Peilboot IV was intended to be used in the colony of German New Guinea when the First World War broke out in August 1914. At that time the boat was not yet finished. During the siege of Tsingtau by the Japanese, the Peilboot IV was submerged in Tsingtauer waters on October 21, 1914.
