Seized merchant ships by Siam

#1

Good morning: Does anyone have a list of the German flagged merchant ships actually seized by Siam (Thailand) in 1917. Various sources are in conflict, citing nine or twelve or other number. I have traced fourteen ships, from just over 400 tons to the 4,000 ton Trauntenfels. To be more complete could anyone cite dates? Several accounts say in July, but a Miramar Ship Index notes August, 1917 for one ship. Several accounts also say ships were chartered to allies--can that be confirmed? date? etc. Many thanks in advance.
