Default WWI German U-Boat Found Nearly Intact Off Belgium Coast

WWI German U-Boat Found Nearly Intact Off Belgium Coast


Marine archaeologists have uncovered the wreck of a World War I German U-Boat off the coast of Belgium, thanks to a sharp-eyed reanalysis of sonar scans from an undersea survey that was carried out several years ago.

The discovery of the wreck was announced at a news conference on Tuesday (Sept. 19) by the governor of Belgium’s West Flanders province, Carl Decaluwe. “It’s quite amazing that we found something like this,” he told reporters, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Klaus Doldinger's Das Boot soundtrack is awesome. One of the best submarine and war films ever.

Default U-boat has been identified as UB-29

Quote:
BRUGES, Belgium (AP)--Belgian authorities have identified a German submarine that went missing over a century ago during World War I.

Submarines were an integral part of the 1914-1918 war and Germany countered Britain's surface fleet in the Atlantic and North Sea with an increasing reliance on U-boats.

One of those boats was the UB-29, which went missing in 1916. Belgian divers investigated the submarine's wreck in a busy shipping lane off the coast of Belgium earlier this year, and officials were able to identify it after finding the tag of the U-boat.

Historical records show that UB-29 departed on its final mission on 27 November 1916 with 22 German sailors on board.

German Ambassador Ruddier Ludeking said his nation wanted the submarine and the 22 sailors' bodies to remain in their underwater grave.
