Merefalow - the submarine sank in 1917. That's 95 years ago. There will be absolutely no traces of any of the soldiers who were on board when it sank. Possibly some pieces of clothing, boots etc. but that will be all. So there will be no skeletons remaining at this time.
yes i agree the Submarine Site should be Respected as Grave site the German Sailors were someones Father and Sons. let them Rest in peace.Besides its Dangerous. i bet there is still Live Ordance on board. Play it safe look & Take Pictures but don't touch anything.
awesome,so there are still dead german sailors inside,they must still have relatives so will they be possibly returned to germany,is it possible or are sunken ships just left alone and designated as a war grave?if they brought the mary rose up why cant they bring this up ,its arguably just as interesting historically.could any explosives left on board still be potentionally active?can you get into it if you are a diver?gutsy if you do with all those skelingtons whoooo.
This is old news-the boat was discovered nearly two years ago-I dived on it last March!
