Summary
Description U-Boats grounded Falmouth 1921 HD-SN-99-02368.JPEG |
Two German U-Boats grounded near Falmouth in 1921. The one nearer to the camera is
UB 86
, a
UB III
-class submarine that was commissioned on 10 November 1917, and made five patrols during the First World War (the hull number is still visible). It was surrendered to Great Britain on 24 November 1918. It was broken up in situ near Falmouth after 1921 after grounding, together with
UB 97
,
UB 106
,
UB 112
,
UB 128
, and
UC 92
. The original texts tells that these U-Boats were washed ashore after having been sunk during the war (like
U 118
at Hastings in 1919), but the lack of deck guns and periscopes shows that these boats were on the way to the breakers.
