Felix Graf von Luckner (1881 1966), or Count Luckner, was a German nobleman, naval officer, author, and sailor who earned the epithet Der Seeteufel (the Sea-Devil) for his exploits in command of the sailing commerce raider SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) between 1916 and 1917. Luckner's habit of successfully waging war without casualties made him a hero and a legend on both sides. Charles Ernest Pont (1898 1971) was a French-born Swiss-American artist and Baptist minister. He painted murals for the WPA, and was a renowned maritime illustrator.
