After a century lost the WW1 German submarine U-31 (not to be confused with the WW2 or post-war boats of the same name) has been found.
The sub left Wilhelmshaven on 13 January 1915 on a routine patrol but nether it, nor the 35 crewmen, were never seen again.
Workers building an offshore windfarm discovered the wreckage in water about 30m deep off the coast of Norfolk. The wreckage had been noted previously but not investigated. It is believed the sub was sunk by a mine.
The windfarm developers have no plans to disturb the wreck further and it is likely that the site will be declared a Protected Place under the PoMRA.
