- The UB-110 was a German submarine that sank off the coast of England during World War I after striking a mine in July 1918. In the years following the war, there were attempts to salvage the submarine for scrap metal. The successful recovery of the UB-110 provided valuable insights into submarine warfare history and allowed for preservation and display of artifacts from the vessel.

It should have been saved for a museum.
the coolest thing I have ever seen is the U-505 in Chicago on display. Well worth checking out once.
Agree
@@justinmoody6721I've been there too. That and the long ship on display.
Indeed.
For us to remember those days.
For us to feel guilty, that is if you are not a H-survivor, but from a different kind that we do not care that much about. Like say, the Gypsies or just the regular people who unfortunately were not born the same like those who were "allowed" to wear a yellow sign.
( i find it funny that nobody dares ask a critical question concerning wearing this yellow sign.... if you get my drift)
Yeah. We need more barbers to collect hair to pile it up to show to the lemmings who visit the sites. To tell em the story about how this is proof of the many who died.
OR!!!!
Do i read your message wrong?
Did you mean you want to save it because of the technology used which in many cases was superior to anything the Allies brought to the front-line?
In that case i would say: Yes, lets save it.
But if it is to be used for war propaganda, to show how evil they were etc etc. Then i must say: no.
Because i do respect the saying: The Victor writes history.
And in many many many cases (unless it is broadcasted live around the world like it is today), the "Victors" can tell you whatever they like and you will accept it as being the absolute truth.
And nobody dares ask a critical question.
Heck, if you dare do that in certain countries on this planet, you will be jailed, or beaten up, or ....
So, why should we save it?
To get busloads of children visit it to indoctrinate them like they do in a certain place in eastern Europe?
OR for the technology side of it?
@@bertjesklotepinolol way too much text my friend. And they’d want to save it simply because it is unique and interesting. For the same reason you would save any interesting piece of militaria.
Im glad the folding table still works.
Same, I was losing sleep over it 🙃
@genevieve.annabelle3296 yeah, I was about to cry as soon as I heard it was even involved..... im ok now....🥲
@@diehardbikes we will make it through this challenging time
@@genevieve.annabelle3296 I will pray for your strength💪
We all are.
The fact that a submarine that sank and then sat in the water for a good 3 months was in such a good condition is like a miracle onto itself.
How is it a miracle? 3 months isn't long enough to do much damage to a vessel.
Its only 3 months though. In cold water.
To be fair. It is designed to be underwater
@@spiderzvow1the inside was not supposed to be in water though. It's supposed to be water tight
.
I mean, is the wood and metal inside just supposed to immediately dissolve? Like you said, it was just a few months 🤷
At least they got to salvage this sub and not UB40 and its cargo of red red wine.
Lmao😅
Well played 😂
😂😂😂👏
Indeed, indeed.
Nice!
Thank God for people who love history!
Don't worry about those torpedoes. They only malfunction and detonate spontaneously during attacks.
They raised an uboat that was sunk in the war and found - TADAA - the torpedo tubes still loaded with torpedos. I mean, what did they expect to find in there?
Probably expected them to be stored on the racks, unless they were actively engaged in combat when it sunk. I got the impression it sunk for unknown reasons.
@@warrenparker6287It was depth charged.
@@warrenparker6287 The Torpedoe Tubes are usually fully loaded for several reasons.
- Space is a rare ressource and you are heavily encouraged to use every possible spot as storage
- If you leave port with all torpedo tubes loaded, you literally get one extra charge of torpedoes for free (free = it does not consume extra space)
- It takes several minutes to load even one torpedo tube. In combat, you often have no time to wait half an hour or more to load torpedoes, before engaging a target
Cheese.
@@jed-henrywitkowski6470 or bratwurst and pilsner lager :)P
There is a u boat at the museum of science and industry in Chicago you can tour
U550, a Type 7 German sub.
I quickly read the title as "British Slavers Horrifying Discovery.." Thought it was a discovered slave ship wreckage. Nope. Salvaged submarine with loaded torpedos.
I wouldn't disagree it was somewhat anticlimactic but in Mike's defence, I think that's much more about how spoilt and blasé we all are nowadays, rather than the fact there's anything intrinsically "unshocking" about the fact that not only were there likely cumulatively several tons of high explosive found on board - but that it was hooked up to its trigger - which we are furthermore told, was infamous for its temperamentality.
Next time you feel like being shocked, why don't you give being an industrial salvage worker a go - and chance upon some unexploded ordnance still with its detonator in place, a mechanism known for being wildly unpredictable - moreover, which was all laid bare to daylight after you had just cracked open a torpedo tube in which the live material lay, with your oxyacetylene torch operating at approaching 3500°C (over 6000° F).
I don't know what sort of thrill-a-minute lifestyle you lead - but for me at least, I reckon the above scenario would probably just about shock me, even if I was already on my guard that something nasty may well be lurking within.....
@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 it was more I read Salvers as Slavers. I expected a sunken slave ship with skeletons in shackles or something. It was my misreading the title that lead to my "Oh.. this is not what I expected." But yes the actual title is a little exaggerated.
@@Rattrap007me too.
I was just surprised when the slaves were still intact and in working order despite having sat submerged.
@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311
Calm down, the guy was just saying that he mistook Salvers for Slavers, no need going off on a tangent and lecturing over that.
That is an amazing set of photos.
Thanks for putting this together 😊
go check out the U-505 in Chicago fully tourable. Coolest thing I have ever seen.
@justinmoody6721 thanks for the heads up. Living in the UK, it will need some planning 👍😊
My great grandfather worked in UB110 born in Newcastle upon Tyne he worked in swan hunters ship builders until his death
So he died when he left port 😂
@@ArnieC1974 no the brightest you eh lad.
I was born in Newcastle, family emigrated to NZ in 74, I remember Dad taking me to see the Esso Hibernia down at the Swan Hunter yards when i was young, it was huge, looked like the bow was hanging over the houses in the street.
It's a shame they scrapped it
there was a war on, the metal was needed
@@cplcabs it was captured 2 months before the end of the war It wasn't scrapped until after the first world war do your homework before commenting
@@exsubmarineractually metal would have been needed after the war for rebuilding and such. So I see why it was scrapped but boy would it have been cool if they didn't !
@@janiprice6117 The raising and salvaging of this submarine was that it could be reversed engineered. the German u-boats were way ahead in technological advances compared to the allies. at the treaty of Versailles in 1919 all the surviving u-boats were surrendered to the allies with the UK France and America getting the lions share some of these u-boats type UB111s and mine laying in submarines UC 11/s we're actually commissioned into allied navies the UK was very interested in the far superior Daimler Benz engines there was a scrap metal boom after the war what with all the warships guns and infrastructure recovered from the theatre of war I have been lucky enough to locate 3 world war one u boat hulls rusting on the Kent mud flats and have salvaged and provided artefacts to museums some weighing over half a ton
@exsubmariner I say it's an amazing feeling to raise a U-Boat out of the sea 🌊. After it's been on the floor of the ocean for 78 to 111 years‼️
Wow just Wow‼️ I would love to be on the recovery ship 🚢 !!
Thank god the wooden table was working. Where else would the brits have their tea?
Not tea, she is German, I think she should be U110 not UB (which I think is a WW1 title?), if the WW2 U110 she took some putting down - depth charged by destroyers Broadway and Bulldog and corvette Aubrieta then rammed by Broadway, south west of Ireland in May 1941!
Don't know anyone who drinks tea in England, they all drink coffee.
How deep was she ?? Is there any film on how she was raised ??
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_UB-110
typical of the shorts makers, you always cut off in the middle of something interesting, I'm thankful that you're not responsible for blood transfusions!
kindly share the links to the photos :)
Your research and content is amazing. Always fascinating. 🌹⚓
It's Second World war namesake U-110 was the U-boat captured by the British where the Ultra code books were found on board. She sank the next day due to damage suffered in her capture while being towed to a British port.
Yes, I thought that there was some confusion there. It seems strange to me that a wwII submarine should have been given the same designation as one lost in WWI.
I was fortunate to have toured U550 in Chicago's MOSI in the 80s and Ill never forget it. My favorite exhibit of the whole place.
According to Wikipedia, when the boat was raised in 1918, an unsettling discovery was discovered. Some of its torpedoes were fitted with magnetic firing pistols-the first to be properly identified by the British. These early examples were problematic, often detonating their weapons prematurely if at all.
This an amazing discovery. It should be documented, recorded and put on exhibition. The public would definitely would want to see it.
She was sunk by HMS Garry, commanded by Charles Lightoller. Is that name familiar?
Yes, a war criminal.
Responsible for the execution of 19 surrendered german sailors.
@@Quert_Zuiopue
German sailor's who'd just attacked and showed no mercy on unarmed merchant ships, but the moment they were in the same situation they wanted to throw their hands in the air and expected the protection of the Geneva Convention, the same protections that minutes before they didn't extend to someone.
I'd have done the same exact thing out of disgust just like Lightoller did.
Wasn't Lightoller an officer on Titanic
@@psychoaftershok Yes its the same Lightoller.
@@dukecraig2402 German sailors enforcing a naval blockade, attacking war material. There are only a few cases where submariners shot sailors in the water or in life boats. These were war crimes.
Now these sailors were in the same position as any sailor of a sinking or sunk ship, in the water and not a threat any more.
Maybe you find something to say about bomber crews attacking civilian targets? Not military targets, air bases, troop concentrations, railroads, factories producing war relevant goods … but internationally burning down cities, causing civilian deaths and destruction or not war relevant civilian properties and housing and shelter not as collateral damage but as the actual target?
Do you think they should be shot and killed while hanging from parachutes or when caught on the ground?
That's AMAZING!
Very cool.....😎
Interesting photos, scary and fascenating
Very cool. Can you try to recover images of the scrapping of the Olympic, Mauretania, Berengaria, and Leviathan?
There are two nations whose mad scientists should not be trifled with. Germans and Russians. Top tier engineers. Humor colder than the steel they transfigure into machine spirits of destruction and obliteration. Props to them.
At 63, I remember buying “Iron Coffins” in the late ‘70’s & being hooked from the 1st page ever since! In fact, my Granddaughter and I are building a “Revell German U-Boat, Type VII C/42 in 1:144 Scale 🇺🇸
You should try the Trumpeter one in 1/48 scale.
😮😮
You can spend more on the bits that really bring it to life, trouble is they cost more than the original kit. 😂
A short getting a subscription from me…damn. You win this round ocean liner guy
First rule of gun safety is to treat EVERY weapon as if it were loaded.
Now, the torpedoes had magnetic fuses - which the Brits knew nothing about - and these were unreliable (and would stay so even to early WWII). The Brits did not know of electric powered torpedoes until Kretschmer invaded Scapa Flow (and had many torpedoes not explode, so they could pick them up).
HOWEVER, the torpedos were perfectly safe to handle - the propeller at the nose is blocking the firing mechanism and will only fall off after a runtime of several 100 meters in the water, so while the fuses loved premature or no detonation, they could not detonate with that safety on.
It’s not like the U-boats loved blowing themselves up, thank you very much, the allied mines already did that job and needed no extra help.
Nice reference photos to make a WW1 sub sim with
If the phrase "Armed with an infamously unreliable magnetic firing pistol that could go off at any moment" couldn't possibly be the most horrifying i've ever heard. LOL.
It was horrifying to the men who raised the ship.
@@davidelliott5843 "I think it must be damp."
It’s a BS statement. The Brits did identify the magnetic fuse for the first time there (that’s WW1), so the crew lifting it would not have had the slightest idea they were there - nor know about their tendency to detonate prematurely or not at all.
Also, the fuse is safe until the propeller at the nose falls off after several 100 meters in the water. No self-blowing-up for you when the Entente has perfectly fine mines to blow up your submarine if you are out of luck.
It doesn’t say if they found their bodies.
All but 2 crew members got out before being sank. Sadly the destoyers that sank her fired upon the survivors while they were in the water and only 13 survived. This was WW1, remember how the Allies like to bring up WW2 Germans firing on ship survivors when they did it in WW1.
@@tb7771 I’m pretty sure that’s a war crime.
@@grumpy3543it's never a war crime the first time
If you win, war crimes don't matter
@@tb7771 there is only one known case of a U boat crew gunning survivors in WW2.
Yay 🙌.....Tyne & Wear Museums ❤
the technology was way ahead of its time.
Interesting, you're getting into Drachinifel channel territory.
Neat!
They would not have recovered any code books or ciphers though, because in the Kriegsmarine those were deliberately printed on water-soluble paper in water-soluble ink. The Kriegsmarine didn't do things half way either, even the message forms the radiomen wrote down and deciphered radio messages on were water-soluble - and so were the connections inside the rotors of the infamous enigma machine.
What has that got to do with UB-110, a WW I submarine?
What about crew members? Were any remains found and photographed?
The people doing it didn't know about Ultra.
Well they wouldn't, as that was over 20 years in the future. UB-110 was a WW I submarine.
@@TheEulerID thanks. Learn something new. Never heard of it.
UB 110 got redesignated as UB40 shortly aftee it sank
oh dee-ahh a war sub had torpedos in it you say? who would have guessed? 😂😂😂
I don't understand the awe of it being in good condition after being submerged. Maybe after it was blown up. It's not being in water that ruins things(generally), it's the oxidation afterwards.
The control systems composed of valves is very confusing...
I have a pressure gauge from a U-boat. My grandfather took it while it was in a Harbour somewhere in Scotland.
Not sure which boat it was though.
I don't know the story behind this German U-boat but unless the boat was scuttled and the entire crew escaped, it should be considered a gravesite and left undisturbed! Only the German Navy should perform recovery operations or their designated salvage company.
The ghost crew lived there and did good house keeping.
Tyne and Wear, when England was great.
Not so great in the 1920s and 30s, Jarrow march and all that kind of stuff.
The torpedoes were "locked and loaded"??? They had little to no guidance in those days
😮
It was only a few months not years....
Must have missed the "horrifying" part.
Sobering sight
What about the crew? 🧐
No rules in war.😮
glad we can still have a good talk over a drink on that table, would be a tradgedy if the hinges didnt work.
A Salver is a silver tray, salvager's would be a better term to use.
Salvor is the correct word.
German quality at its finest.Still works and is armed too
Restore it to working order
was scrapped.
It was scrapped out in 1918
40,000 went to sea
30,000 never returned
My father wanted to be on u boots but he was on 13 when the russkies came..anyway 1980 went back home..then straight to Kiel and bremerhaven to visit das boot and memorial
Have heaps of stories Inc one aunt on the Wilhelm gustloff sunk by dirty Russ sub she survived but hair went white overnight...that's war eh?
That's WW II. UB-110 was a WW I U-Boat.
There are no flowers on a sailors grave.
I'm going to assume the crew escaped and they didn't disturb a war grave, I get it, war time but still
Did they discover bodies.
ABSOLUTE TREASURE
...for months.
I thought they wpuld discover bodies
More chance of me shitting myself at the prospect that the sub could have blown at any minute then coming across dead bodies.
@@nottmjas Nope. The torpedoes are safe to handle, the fuses cannot activate w/o the safety being removed. Removal is by the torpedo running through the water for several 100 meters.
Besides, most or all crew left the boat, as it was rammed after being forced up.
This was a ww1 submarine.
What happened to the crew,did they survive, if there were human remains on board it should have been regarded as a war grave.
The Kreigsmarine submariners were epic 😎
OMG real life Rockwell! This is the best day of my life
@@KnownNiche1999 That's right, my friend. They tried to fake my death. I am currently living in the mountains near David Duke.
Kaiserliche Marine. Kriegsmarine was 15 years later.
Nice of the Germans to evacuate all the sailors
Before hand😐
So steampunkish.
Never disrespect German engineering.
If the British had wanted to save a U-boat they could have saved an intact one captured at the end of the war.
It's a little after 3 am and my brain read the thumbnail as,
"Recovered U-Boat Images! --- British 'Slavers' Horrifying..."
So I'm thinking that the algorithm may have effectively reprogrammed my subconscious to jump to the wildest possible chimeric idea of time-travelling Nazis photographically recording the British slave trade, and also chose to watch it, regardless of the absurdity.
NEEEXT!
jk night-night
...but, maybe? 1 more?...
Glad my sammich eating table still works....🥪🍔🌮🌯(tacos&burritos ARE Spanish sandwiches).
I assume men died in that. Poor souls.
May they rest in peace.
They didn't. It was evacuated.
Salvagers!!!
What did happen to the crew ? where they still in the sub ?
I would think so. Most likely bones by then
@@kiedranFan2035 Sunk July 19th, raised October 4th. Same year, 1918.
Most or all of the crew exited the depth charged and then rammed submarine. A number of them were killed in the water.
That does not leave much time for bones from no-longer-there crew.
Where is it now?
scrapped
so, no mention of the crew? puzzling
A commenter after you "Tannhauser111" told the tale of UB-110 that the short did not contain.
As, Nomed38 said above another user shared the story. In essence, all of the staff except for two radio operators could save themselves from the sinking U-Boat, but most of them were gunned down by the brits.
@@thedoublek4816I’m pretty sure that’s a war crime. Were anyone tried?
@@grumpy3543So you keep saying. Look it up yourself
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_UB-110
its sounds like the video is implying german torpedoes were no good
i dont think the yanks had a torp that would work until '43 or '44
better late than never
The magnetic fuses in 1918 were not great, but these were the first ones the Brits found and correctly identified.
Yes, FIRST world war. SM UB-110 is not U-110.
Where are the bodies?
Most of them didn't go down with the submarine. Many were killed after the actual sinking, by British sailors on the HMS Garry, either by being shot in the water while trying to swim away, or at the hands of the Garry's crew after they were captured and brought on deck. Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare tactics made their submariners the most hated men in the seven seas, especially in the eyes of British sailors.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_UB-110
If the crew quarters had wood panelling this guy must have been built before stuff got too desperate for the nazies.
Nazis didnt exist in WW1.
No Nazis in WW I.
3 months I thought it was sunk in ww2 else the British used it for target practice 😂 they wouldn't usually miss either so they opened the flounder valve flooded it n it sank
German made
Destroyed by the British. UB-110 was depth charged, rammed, and sunk by HMS Garry.
"Horrifying discovery"?
A U-boat on war patrol with armed torpedoes in its torpedo tubes?
Who'd have thought it?
I think it comes under the "so what?" category, rather than your sensationalist title.
Yeah, what else did they expect to find in these torpedo tubes?
Right now I only have 1 sub :(
War memorial grave, my six.
When raised, the war was still a shooting war.
Awesome. Too bad humans.couldn't use thier energy to save this.planet✨💚✨
Could you tell me when in 1918 there was any idea of “global warming”?
Actually, drastically reducing the human population does give our planet hope for the future. Oh, sure, we could thaw out Greenland and Canada, and cool down Australia to make room for more billions, I guess.
@@jeffreyb8770 So you want the Black Death, Ebola and Covid to run ripe through the population, or do you prefer simple starvation, Dr Malthus?
You've done this before.
the Uboat 505 was stolen by americans and put in chicago should go there sometime. no water damage
STOLEN? It is a war trophy.
WTF are you thinking sporto ?
Made in Germany was good shit. Not so much anymore.
It's Arabic now
@@junicohen7918 Like the numerals you use, Arabic …
You will find that the current submarines do sneak up on aircraft carriers and perfectly track SSNs looking for them while staying completely invisible to them. And can cross the Atlantic without surfacing or snorkelling despite not having a nuclear reactor.
With the latter bit being more unique, actually.
Vote R.F.Kennedy for Americans next president of the United States of America. Americans' future depends on leadership integrity and meaningful practices representation. It is time for a fresh new drink of water in the White House
He is a good candidate for President...
How about Pol Pot or Stalin or Putin or Kim (DPRK)? They are at least as qualified, and have the good of all American citizens more on their mind than RF.
Since he's as nuts as Trump, and kind of admits it, I see little point.
That was the grave of those submariners/sailors, abd its disgusting to me to lift that ship with the express permission of the country of ogin of those men.
If you read the history of U 110, you learn that the crew had disembarked after being forced to the surface by Allied forces. The only U boat crew casualty was actually it's CO, Lemp, who dove back in the water to swim to his too slowly sinking U boat to get the code books but alas, he didn't make it. A British crew was able to recover all the code books, ciphers, and Enigma machine before it sunk.
@@LrngMn You mistake SM UB-110, an UB III type boat, sunk 1918, with U-110, an IXB type boat, captured 1941.
BTW, there were 15 men KIA, as the DDs opened up fire at the crew abandoning ship, as they thought the deck gun was about to be used. According to one witness, Lemp was shot in the water as he tried to swim back to the not sinking submarine.
UB-110 was raised on 4th of October 1918, the armistice at the end of WWI was on 11th of November.
You do NOT need to ask a country you are in a shooting war with if you can raise their vessels to learn military secrets. Agreed?
After all, the USA tried to raise USSR submarines on the sly during the cold, not-shooting, war … Glomar Explorer anyone?
@LrngMn UB110 not U110. UB110 was a first war sinking so Enigma didn't exist then. The crew of the RN destroyer that depth charged the UB110 and forced it to the surface, shot at the German crew in the water as the UB110 had recently sunk a civilian vessel with 30 civilian deaths resulting and it had shelled a fishing fleet causing many deaths and injuries amongst civilian fishermen.
I already knew the story, but simply Google. U110 was captured 9 Mar 41.
The truth is that if that guy in the Cadillac had a chance to shoot anyone he would have shot them whether they were good or bad he just wanted to shoot someone he's not a good samaritan.
