I been looking for U110 resting place for a while and after following a link from 110 wiki page , I followed a link to a set of photographs showing that she had been raised and towed in, however it's states her place of being sunk off Hartlepool in the north east of England by HMS Garry.

Could there have been another 110 in ww1 or is this just a mistake, save me from looking for the wreck to dive.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of. Here is a link to possibly the most definitive site on the subject matter which I presume you have already viewed:

The above link also provides a link to a website dedicated to the U Boat:

The graves are from U110

The 'raised' photographs are of UB110, not U110

Leehebs!

@ XFishermanBob: The commander of WWI's UB110 also served in WWII as Chief of the Statistics office; and was amazingly prophetic:"

Quote:

In the period immediately prior to the Second World War, Fübringer seems to have written a memorandum (cited in Padfield’s War Beneath the Sea, 1995 ed. p.48) arguing against a U-boat war against England until a way could be found to render U-boats immune to ASDIC, arguing that to commit the valuable U-boat crews [to such a war] would be irresponsible. Moreover, he argued that naval air power would be necessary to destroy convoy escorts and that in the future the roles of the navy and air forces would be so interconnected that these elements must be welded into unity by the outbreak of the war if heavy failures are not to result.

Fantastic photo's. First time I have seen a hull stripped back to reveal the outer torpedo tube doors. Thank you for posting.
