As the first airship owned by the Navy, it was given the serial number L-1. Ordered to participate in manoeuvers, it departed the mainland in bad weather. With 20 people on board, L-1 flew into a gale, and, while 18 miles from its destination, the cold rain caused its gas to contract, causing it to settle {{convert|20|mi|km nmi|abbr=on|disp=flip}} north of Heligoland into the North Sea, breaking in two. The control car sank, drowning 13 of its occupants. Seven were rescued by motor torpedo boats.[1] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=George Edward Plumbe|author2=James Langland|author3=Claude Othello Pike|title=Chicago Daily News Almanac and Year Book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=f3pQAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA396|year=1913|publisher=Chicago Daily News, Incorporated|page=396}}
