WWI Submarine wreck located - (finally got one right!)

[Baldrick62]

Having previously posted threads on WWI submarines that either turned out to be 'an anomaly' or pure speculation, it's nice to find one that's actually true (for a change). Tragic circumstances surround the sinking of HM Submarine J6, only a month before the Armistice, and due to a blue-on-blue. The wreck was discovered off the Northumberland coast in Dec 2011.

Photos are through Flickr; can't be sure whether they're J6 or other J-boats that were put into RAN service and subsequently scuttled in the inter-war period off Australia, but the vis looks very clear for the North Sea in winter!

Interesting; I'm surprised no one has already tried a restoration.
