It's a stupid rule, but we do need a direct citation after quotes, such as "The historians Hans Hildebrand, Albert Röhr, and Hans-Otto Steinmetz stated that "why no one objected to the building of this ship cannot be determined from the record.""
Any information on how bad the typhoid infection hit her crew?
No, unfortunately - that's all Hildebrand et al say, and nothing turns up in a search of old periodicals on Google Books (GB seems convinced I meant "nice" instead of "Nixe"!)
"Nixe reached Kiel on 1 April 1899 and went into the shipyard in Kiel for another overhaul." We could likely avoid using Kiel twice in a sentence.
