What a fabulous history lesson! And spoken with a real human voice! I’ve just discovered Hidden History and I plan on watching so much more! Thank you so much!
I dove many wrecks off the north and south shores of Long Island NY. I can not describe the excitement I felt finding something new or spearfishing off of these wrecks out to 130 ft deep. At 80-90 feet, or deeper, spear fishing was not a priority yet looking around or discovering items was, given time limitations. To find this wreck, a historical Holy Cow, must be an incredible feeling. Diving was my greatest love...above all else!
I have had the good fortune to meet and speak with Mr. Termote and his dad at a few collectors shows in Germany, and they are both very personable and easy to talk to. I also have a copy of his wonderful book, "War Beneath the Waves," about his search for WW-I U-Boat wrecks. It is also available in Belgian and German. Highly recommended!
A VERY interesting channel that I have only just discovered and subscribed to. I do feel sorry for all those submariners who perished in their submarines in both World Wars. Their end must have been unbearable. I also feel for the crews of the allied ships who lost their lives due to submarines. May they all Rest in Peace. Thanks for the videos.
@@franktibbet8237 Yes, the bell was salvaged, I hope to see it one day. I had her blueprints and sent copies to the folks who were looking for and eventually found her. I was in London before Covid and spent a day at the Archives going through the original material they hold of the Admiralty Court of Inquiry into her sinking. One of the reasons for the relatively high death tool is that the depth charges aboard were all armed and set to go off at a certain depth, meaning they exploded as she sank. As a result, official policy became that no depth charges were to be armed and set unless they were being dropped when chasing a U-boat.
Time stamp 4:49..The U-boat's Skipper. He didn't win his two Iron Cross medals. He was awarded them, becoming a recipient.. The Iron Cross, like other wartime awards for valor, was not a contest.
After such a long time bottom feeders have cleaned every part of the sub of any and all biological material. I doubt there is even bones left to study. For the hull it out to be rusted such extent that even though i wish it could be salvaged in one peace, its extremely unlike that is possible to do. Only way would be to some black magic get massive box around the sub and surface sand, then lift that whole section of the sea up as is with out disturbing it, but crane ship capable of doing such thing is rather difficult to find, not to mention expensive, well as the box it self how it could get under the sub. There are few setups that might be possible ie garage door type of setup that with water jets and suction pumps moves the sand out of its way, but to make it sturdy and sealed enough to take whole sub is massive issue on its own. Those things aint light after all.
Comments indicate a great want for underwater shipwreck videos. Suppose they could be simulated from asonar shadow like those wargame surface ship videos. Quite good they are.
I believe H.J.Lawson was onboard the ferry Sussex that night. He was about 50 years old. As a vehicle seller he travelled to assist war effort. His Bicyclette of 1876 is in the Science Museum.
I remember a documentary of a Nazi sub found off North Carolina. Divers went inside and removed artifacts, including a kitchen knife with the last name off a sailor who perished. Research into the family found he had a sister who immigrated to the US. She was either very young or born after he passed; can’t recall. The river who found it met with her. She cried holding an object that her brother opened and whose hand carved the name into the handle. Once confirmed the piece of crap human unceremoniously threw the knife into his briefcase and ended the interview. It was a shock, as I expected the guy to give it to her.
Shockingly I couldn’t / still can’t find a single photo of it online. Not sure if they just didn’t take any or what. Appreciate you watching though and have a great week :)
One reason for a steel rather than a bronze propeller is that steel would be more resistant to part damage from depth charges as it is harder. Obviously, a direct hit would destroy everything irrespective. The other reason was the scarcity of copper and tin.
Fascinating video. I would've thought that if the periscopes 'hooked' a mine the forward momentum of the vessel would've dragged the mine onto the stern of the vessel, not the bow. Maybe I'm missing something here? In any event, I'm not going to waste any sympathy on the crew. Submarine warfare against unarmed civilian vessels is a dirty business and the demise of this submarine no doubt spared many lives on allied ships.
Had anyone got any info on UB38. I know it was in English channel and was moved "as a war grave" out the shipping channel in early 2000s. But I'm unable to find any history on this vessel. I know about the movement as I was part of the job.

@@troygroomes104 At least not legally but it hasn't stopped some countries from performing such acts. The Russians stole a British sub that had sank and copied most of its design around the time of WW1, hell they even repaired the sub and started using it themselves.
Despite the quote claiming the u-boat service was tantamount to suicide, it was not that way in WWI, even at the end. It was much worse in WWII. Bad quote that should have been checked.
Strange that both periscopes are bent. Today's submariners state that under no circumstances would both periscopes ever be raised at the same time. Plus, they would have been lowered for a dive. Is this a true statement? Would this not have been true on a ship that old? Maybe not in Germany at the time? Any information or reason for why this happened? Thanks for any insight to the difference of opinions.
I agree with your comment concerning both periscopes being bent. Sounds more likely they were hooked by the wire passing over the wreck in 1947, and bent over with the wire passing.
It was actually not uncommon in the First World War for U-Boats to surface and give those on board a chance to evacuate the ship before they sunk it. Different times

England you mean the United Kingdoms 4 country's in the United Kingdoms not just England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland fought in ww1 history remember it .
You’re right of course, but back in ww1 era the UK was commonly referred to as England by the continentals because it’s the largest state. In the same way that many people call the Netherlands “ Holland” even now.
Americans are a funny bunch. They cruise on ships of warring nations and then are outraged when the ship is sunk. The German submarine commander should probably have asked beforehand if there were any Americans on the ship.
The Luistania was carrying war materisls into a declared war zone. Americans had been warned. BTW, the Americans used unrestricted Submarine warfare against Japan in WW2. How do you spell hypocrisy?
That was different because Japan launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbour. And was the atomic bomb a fair thing?. YES. Because if the Japanese had it they would have dropped it on New York in 1941 December 7 Unrestricted warfare against civilians was widely practiced by the Japanese in China for 10 yrs. Looking around a bit it seems quite unwise to assign levels of morality to wartime activities.

"Piece of human crap" PERFECTLY describes that scum bag! How could anyone be so cold hearted?
Under federal law, they can make those divers rise the sub and ID all remains onboard. Not counting fines and jail time.
U-869, identified by John Chatterton and Richie Koehler, chronicled in the best seller “Shadow Divers.”
The name of the book is Shadow Divers. I highly recommend it. Name on the knife handle was Hornchurch if I remember correctly.
Nothing like a sub with two giant smokestacks ? 😂

I can confirm that is not what she said....
Yuuuuuge
Why no pictures of the actual wreck?
I sadly couldn’t find any
England you mean the United Kingdoms 4 country's in the United Kingdoms not just England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland fought in ww1 history remember it .
You’re right of course, but back in ww1 era the UK was commonly referred to as England by the continentals because it’s the largest state. In the same way that many people call the Netherlands “ Holland” even now.
No, I pretty much mean England.
He is right, there is no such thing as UK it is Englang the enslaver, the colonizers the so called father's of white supremacy and inbred.
Stuffed Cotten in their nose and mouths…..why?
To speed up the drowning / reduce the terror
@@HiddenHistoryYT how does cotton reduce terror?
@@HiddenHistoryYT but how does cotton speed drowning?
Americans are a funny bunch. They cruise on ships of warring nations and then are outraged when the ship is sunk. The German submarine commander should probably have asked beforehand if there were any Americans on the ship.
And yet, we get zero pictures of the wreck
Unfortunately aren’t any :(
The Luistania was carrying war materisls into a declared war zone. Americans had been warned. BTW, the Americans used unrestricted Submarine warfare against Japan in WW2. How do you spell hypocrisy?
That was different because Japan launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbour. And was the atomic bomb a fair thing?. YES. Because if the Japanese had it they would have dropped it on New York in 1941 December 7 Unrestricted warfare against civilians was widely practiced by the Japanese in China for 10 yrs. Looking around a bit it seems quite unwise to assign levels of morality to wartime activities.
Why did they put cotton in their mouths and noses to drown themselves? Wouldn't just the water accomplish that?'
