The wreck of a World War I German submarine has been discovered off the coast of Scotland by marine engineers surveying the route of an undersea power cable.
Researchers said they think the wreck is one of two German U-boats sunk by British patrol ships in the Irish Sea in 1918 — including one that was supposedly attacked by a sea monster, according to an internet legend.

I thought this was debunked.. The crew admitted that the captain had made up the sea monster story to avoid blame for sinking his own vessel.

I did read the story. And other stories. There is a conflict in that this story says the captain didn’t mention a sea monster but other articles have said he blamed the sea monster for damage that kept him on the surface and the crew didn’t back him up..
No biggie. Just wondering.....

I didn’t realize that the internet was around in 1918!
