UX-791 found?
Hi all
Saw this article on the Subsim FB group, but the type U1200 and the name UX-791 does not show up on U-boat.net Anybody got more info on this type or sub? http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/usa-...n-great-lakes/ |
It doesn't say whether there were any bodies on board.
|
The article states there never was any evidence U-boats had penetrated the Great Lakes. Now they have that evidence. The article doesn't say if the interior had been flooded either. Since Lake Ontario is a fresh water lake and free of a corrosive salt content, it should be in good condition. Since divers found it, it must be in relatively shallow waters. I don't know how they could have missed this submarine for all these years.
The article states this was an experimental sub so records on it may be scarce and incomplete. Thanks for finding and posting the article and link. :up: |
Type U-1200?:hmmm:
|
That rusty boat looks russian to me. Think it's a hoax.
|
How would an enemy warship manage to get through all the canal locks it has to pass to even get into the Great Lakes?
|
Does this new finding have any thing to do with the water pipes in Flint Michigan? :woot:

Well that explains the buggy 'no wintergarden' conning tower for a 1943 U-boat. http://uboat.net/fates/losses/1943.htm and no mention here either. U791 was ordered but never completed...http://uboat.net/boats/nc_791.html ... http://uboat.net/types/walter.htm

K-159 lies on the sea floor at 240 meters, along with its two nuclear reactors still containing 800 kilograms
of spent nuclear fuel with an estimated amount of radioactivity of some 600,000 Curie. The waters outside the Kildin island, where K-159 sank, is one of the best joint fishing areas. Russia has leased the fishing gounds to Norway as far as i know :woot: http://barentsobserver.com/en/securi...lear-sub-28-08 |
The stern of the Sub wasn't visible or we might have figured it out earlier although RobbieRob had it pegged. August also figured out the locks. I didn't know if there were locks there or not back then .

This is a complete hoax, there is no way a U-boat could have penetrated into the great lakes un-detected. There is only one sunken U-boat in lake Michigan, the UC-97. It was a war prize at the end of WWI and brought into the lakes on tour before it was sunk in 200ft of water off Chicago. It's a UCIII type minelayer and was discovered in the 90's by A&T salvage.
