According to media reports, a German submarine of the First World War was found in the North Sea in the west of Belgium.
The submarine is at a depth of 27 meters. Its exact location is not disclosed because of fears that lovers of extreme diving can damage the find.
A new find was reported by researcher Thomas Termot (Tomas Termote). According to him, this is already 11 submarine, found in the waters of Belgium. However, of all the finds - this one has been preserved better than all others. The German Embassy has already been informed of the find.
The causes of the accident are not known exactly, but, apparently, the submarine was blown up on a mine. Scientists believe that this submarine U-Boot class UB-II, which was built in 1915-1916. Between 1915 and 1918, 18 such submarines were in Bruges, of which 13 were destroyed. A boat of 27 meters in length could be submerged to a depth of 50 meters. Scientists hope that the find will help explain the fate of 23 crew members, who, apparently, were considered missing. The researchers suggest that the bodies of the crew members may be inside the submarine vessel.
As previously reported, in January 2017 in Canada, a sunken German submarine was discovered during the Second World War. Archaeologists from Niagara University identified the find as a submarine UX-791. Presumably, the German submariners could penetrate the North American lakes in 1943-1944. The boat was hoisted at the end of August 2017.
According to scientists, the boat could get to Lake Ontario through the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In order to get to the Great Lakes, German submariners had to overcome several hundred kilometers along the winding branches of the River Flav Saint Laurent and Lake Saint Louis.
The submarine, lying on the bottom for more than 70 years, was the first evidence that the German submarine fleet was able to penetrate unnoticed into North America.
