''Graf von Goetzen'' was built in 1913 in [[Germany]], and was one of three vessels the [[German Empire]] used to control Lake Tanganyika during the early part of the [[First World War]]. Her [[Captain (nautical)|captain]] had her [[Scuttling|scuttled]] on 26 July 1916 in Katabe Bay during the German retreat from Kigoma. In 1924, a British [[Royal Navy]] salvage team raised her and in 1927 she returned to service as ''Liemba''. ''Liemba'' is the last vessel of the [[Kaiserliche Marine|German Imperial Navy]] still actively sailing anywhere in the world. | ''Graf von Goetzen'' was built in 1913 in [[Germany]], and was one of three vessels the [[German Empire]] used to control Lake Tanganyika during the early part of the [[First World War]].
