She was built by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg and following just under a year of construction, launched at Hamburg on 7 July 1917. UB-105 was commissioned early the next year under the command of Kptlt. Wilhelm Marschall. Like all Type UB III submarines, UB-105 carried 10 torpedoes and was armed with a 8.8 cm (3.46 in) deck gun. UB-105 would carry a crew of up to 3 officer and 31 men and had a cruising range of 7,420 nautical miles (13,740 km; 8,540 mi). UB-105 had a displacement of 510 t (500 long tons) while surfaced and 629 t (619 long tons) when submerged. Her engines enabled her to travel at 13.3 knots (24.6 km/h; 15.3 mph) when surfaced and 7.4 knots (13.7 km/h; 8.5 mph) when submerged.
Summary of raiding history
UB-105 sank Ellerman Lines' 4,262 GRT cargo steamship Branksome Hall off the coast of Cyrenaica in July 1918. She is shown here between 1906 and 1911, when she was with Glen Line as Glenavon.
