    WW1 sub found

    Looks almost in good enough condition it could be raised.

    My condolences if previously posted.

    If you're as much a freak over maritime salvage as I am, you might want to take a look at the works of Ellsberg;

    I looked for the name Som in ww1 sinking records but not only was Som the name of a particular sub it was also apparently the class of the submarine. I found nothing on what sank this one. I was kinda expecting the video to have more details as usualy if there's enough damage to sink a sub it will be apparent.

    I think I read it was built in Germany, so blaming it on shoddy Russian construction complete with screen door is out.
