From the article:
A group of divers have found the wreckage of German submarine U-26 in the Gulf of Finland. U-26 disappeared in August of 1915. It managed to sink 5 russian warships during the first year of the war, including the cruiser Pallada, which lead the crew to be awarded with Iron Cross 2nd class.
