The location of the wreck is being kept secret to prevent it being plundered (file picture of UB-II type submarine)

90 feet down, not too deep
surprised it wasnt discovered already...lots of traffic in those waters, over the years.

BBC article ‘we reckon’? I would never believe an Englishman would speak like a Texan.
Boy, this is an interesting find, though.

The Hunley, lost in the Civil War was found in 1995 is only 27 ft of water five miles offshore from Charleston.
The boat went down on a known day, in a known area yet it took 130 years to find.
This U-Boat is an amazing find.

23 men can actually fit in that thing? How?
To: cyclotic
If Hunley was a Clinton email it might still be lost.

If you look at the photo you may notice how perspective between foreground and background is compressed, evidence that at least a medium telephoto lens may have been used to take the picture. That will, from that angle, make the boat look smaller.

"Hunley, lost in the Civil War was found in 1995 is only 27 ft of water five miles offshore from Charleston" In 1958 the USAF lost a nuclear weapon off Tybee Island, Georgia (near Savannah) which has never been found.
