UB 122 in the River Medway

A mate posted about this today on Face Book... I'd never heard of it and I grew up near the Medway. This was apparently a Type3 coastal U-Boat and was left here for scrapping at Hoo in Kent in 1919, but the scrapping was never completed

Too bad it's too far gone for restoration. That would be an awesome museum.

Interesting! Incidentally, her type, UB III, is the one that evolved into the Type VII we all know and love!
