Baron Von Forstner and the U28 sea serpent of July 1915


This much is beyond dispute: that on the afternoon of 31 July 1915, in the first year of the First World War, the British steamer Iberian was shelled, torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Ireland by the German submarine U28. This much is disputed: that when the Iberian went down, there was a large underwater disturbance – caused, it is supposed, by her boilers imploding. Quantities of wreckage were hurled into the air, and there, amid the debris, six members of the U-boat's crew beheld "a gigantic sea-animal, writhing and struggling wildly", which "shot out of the water to a height of 60 to 100 feet."

Nu zijn er wel meer van dit soort verhalen.
Wat te denken van:

de UB65 en zijn dolende geest
http://www.forumeerstewereldoorlog.nl/viewtopic.php?t=1761

Of:

WW1 U-boat UB-85 attacked by seamonster?
UB-85 ATROCITY


Yet another tale of a horrific encounter with one of ocean's many atrocities comes to us from a U-boat Commander and his crew in the midst of the first World War. Much like the event reported by U-28 in the North Atlantic a mere 3 years prior, the sailors aboard the UB-85 were in for an encounter which they would never forget.
