wow how did they get such a good picture?
must be in very shallow water?
image 13 is probably there just to see if you are paying attention

 

I fully agree, great post. It is ashame no Type XX1 sub survived.

There's one in Bremerhaven if I recall correctly. It was a training boat in the Bundesmarine after the war.

EDIT: Its the U2540. For those interested: German submarine Wilhelm Bauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Thanks, Alan, cannot believe I missed it. I have only been in 505, a IX class long range boat. I cannot imagine what a Type V11 must have been like. The USS Drum felt like a cruise ship by comparison. I doubt I will get too Bremehaven but can research it.

Great pictures , 13 too (Torpedo los ! )

 

The wreck is in 65-70m off the coast of Malin Head, Ireland... I should know, it was me who took the pictures!

I used a tripod (not the easiest thing to fiddle around with at those depths ) and a Canon Powershot S90 on a long exposure (15secs if I remember correctly) ; in most of the photos I used 2 exposures and blended them together to remove spurious other divers..

Glad you like them!

Cheers
