The ghost of U-Boat 33: German sub sunk in 1918 threatening to surface in Channel

[Drone_pilot]

It was one of the deadliest submarines in the German Navy's fleet during
the First World War.

The UB-33 stalked the seas - sinking at least 13 craft as it marauded across
the English Channel and North Sea in search of Allied vessels.

Finally, the hunter met its own end eight miles off Dover in 1918. But now,
89 years on, the ghost of the submarine is threatening to rise from the
depths - to pose a new danger to cargo ships, tankers and ferries in the
Channel, the world's busiest shipping lane.

The 'boat has now been moved to a position some 2miles from its original resting place, and placed in 40m (131ft) of water. It turns out that it's the UB-38, and not the UB-33 as previously thought, and although UB-38 isn't recognised as a war grave (even tho it too sank with all 27 hands) the British Admiralty, the salvage team and the German government worked together to ensure that the correct protocols were observed and that the proper respect was afforded to her crew.
