What do we know about Kiel?

Well in Erskine Childers, "Riddle if the Sands", the Dulcibella got a tow through the Kiel Canal by a tug.

The Dulcebella (or rather the Aasgaard) is a Colin Archer boat built in Norway.
Dulcebella/Aasgaard was used by Childers for gun running from Belgium to Howth.
Childers was shot by firing squad on November 2nd.1922.
The Dulcebella/Aasgaard is now in prison!
Not really.
The prison is in Dublin and has been turned into a museum.

About Kiel? Not enough obviously.
