Wreck of German U-boat found off coast of Stranraer

 

GALLOWAY: -- The wreck of a German U-boat which sank almost 100 years ago has been discovered by engineers laying subsea power cables.

 

Remarkable sonar images show the missing World War One submarine is largely intact and lying off the Galloway coast.

 

Experts believe the vessel could be the UB-85, a sub sunk by HMS Coreopsis in 1918, according to official records.

Whale of a tale. 

Should be moved to a subforum?

Interesting Wiki entry HERE. According to the entry, the entire crew was captured as POWs, but the captain had a fascinating story:

 

"Under interrogation, the captain is reported to have said that the submarine had surfaced the night before to recharge the batteries and had been attacked by a large sea creature that had damaged the vessel and left it unable to submerge. The crew had fired their sidearms at the creature."

 

An early sighting of one of Nessie's kin?
