I dove many wrecks off the north and south shores of Long Island NY. I can not describe the excitement I felt finding something new or spearfishing off of these wrecks out to 130 ft deep. At 80-90 feet, or deeper, spear fishing was not a priority yet looking around or discovering items was, given time limitations. To find this wreck, a historical Holy Cow, must be an incredible feeling. Diving was my greatest love...above all else!

@@franktibbet8237 Yes, the bell was salvaged, I hope to see it one day. I had her blueprints and sent copies to the folks who were looking for and eventually found her. I was in London before Covid and spent a day at the Archives going through the original material they hold of the Admiralty Court of Inquiry into her sinking. One of the reasons for the relatively high death tool is that the depth charges aboard were all armed and set to go off at a certain depth, meaning they exploded as she sank. As a result, official policy became that no depth charges were to be armed and set unless they were being dropped when chasing a U-boat.

After such a long time bottom feeders have cleaned every part of the sub of any and all biological material. I doubt there is even bones left to study. For the hull it out to be rusted such extent that even though i wish it could be salvaged in one peace, its extremely unlike that is possible to do. Only way would be to some black magic get massive box around the sub and surface sand, then lift that whole section of the sea up as is with out disturbing it, but crane ship capable of doing such thing is rather difficult to find, not to mention expensive, well as the box it self how it could get under the sub. There are few setups that might be possible ie garage door type of setup that with water jets and suction pumps moves the sand out of its way, but to make it sturdy and sealed enough to take whole sub is massive issue on its own. Those things aint light after all.

I remember a documentary of a Nazi sub found off North Carolina. Divers went inside and removed artifacts, including a kitchen knife with the last name off a sailor who perished. Research into the family found he had a sister who immigrated to the US. She was either very young or born after he passed; can’t recall. The river who found it met with her. She cried holding an object that her brother opened and whose hand carved the name into the handle. Once confirmed the piece of crap human unceremoniously threw the knife into his briefcase and ended the interview. It was a shock, as I expected the guy to give it to her.

One reason for a steel rather than a bronze propeller is that steel would be more resistant to part damage from depth charges as it is harder. Obviously, a direct hit would destroy everything irrespective. The other reason was the scarcity of copper and tin.

Fascinating video. I would've thought that if the periscopes 'hooked' a mine the forward momentum of the vessel would've dragged the mine onto the stern of the vessel, not the bow. Maybe I'm missing something here? In any event, I'm not going to waste any sympathy on the crew. Submarine warfare against unarmed civilian vessels is a dirty business and the demise of this submarine no doubt spared many lives on allied ships.
