Odd for there to be so many. Perhaps they were scuttled there after the armistice.

Yes odd...but they mention the expectation of finding crew members.

Well that is interesting, Feathered. In a way this is a bit of a buried Spitties story. From the article in Fox News - which is lifted from the Der Speigel story - you get the idea that a large number of submarines have been "discovered" and dived on and the "quartet" of divers are planning to cut their way in to find "artifacts".
Of course just like David Cundall and his buried Burmese Spitfires; it's bollox. However, unlike David Cundall, Mark Dunkley is a well respected, experienced Marine Archeologist who works for English Heritage - a UK government organisation. Their starting point is that we know from the historical record that the RN sunk over forty U-Boats in inshore waters in WWI. Re read the two articles and look for the quotes by Mark Dunkley. He actually says nothing about having dived on any wrecks at all! If you're a lazy journo you can construct just about anything you want with a few out of context quotes. Here is the original story from the Daily Telegraph in the Spring of this year. 'Fraid it's a rather more sober account of an archeological survey rather than Raiders of the Lost Ark. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/b...ubmarines.html In preparation for next years 100th anniversary of the outbreak of WWI English Heritage are doing a large survey of wrecks around English coastal waters.

A lot of U boats were scuttled off the coast of Northern Ireland I believe.
