The Helgoland Island air disaster occurred on September 9, 1913 after the airshipZeppelin LZ 14 had been transferred to the Imperial German Navy on 7 October 1912. As the first airship owned by the Navy, it was given the serial number L-1. With 20 people on board, L-1 flew into a strong storm, crashing 20 miles north of Heligoland Island into the North Sea, breaking in two and the control car immediately sinking, drowning 14 of its occupants.
