because Weddigen was attempting a stern shot and that class was prone to instability when attempting to use stern torpedo tubes.
Weddigen forward tt battery had been accounted for by sinkings earlier in his patrol as there were survivors to recount how their ships were sunk.

I have recently received a commission to paint the Dreadnought ramming the U29. All I have been able to locate is one painting of the incident. But I would rather confirm the sky and sea state when the incident to place. Anyone have any ideas, beyond internet searches, as to where I might get this and details of the ramming? I do not even have positive information on which side the U29 was stuck. Nor do I have any information on the location of HMS Temeraire which was apparently maneuvering to try and ram U29 was well? Any help is much appreciated.
