a world war one era submarine wreck, off the devon coast, has been granted protection by the government, on the advice of historic england. the protected status means the wreck can be dived, but its contents are protected by law and must not be moved. however, there s a twist to this story as the submarine is not what it was first thought to be, as our reporterjohn danks explains. just off the south devon coast and 50 metres below the surface, a 100 year old submarine wreck emerges from the gloom. but for the diapers, exploring what was supposed to be a german u boat, something wasn t quite right. it was said to be a u boat that was sunk on a work patrol, and yet it had more that had ropes stowed, we thought that was really strange. while we were underwater, that really stood out.
after looking at these pictures, historic england confirmed it was indeed british. a prototype d class submarine. it was launched in 1908, but it became obsolete in 1918 because the technology was developing so quickly. what was really important was developing this technology to detect enemy submarines as well. once a submarine became obsolete, it was sunk as a target for testing equipment. the wreck has now been granted protected status. what excites historians and drivers isjust how well preserved appears to be. it was in lovely condition. it had lots of really nice features. and that is one of the reasons it has been protected because it is ther for other people to see. it s completely intact as far as can tell. so it gives us a fantastic opportunity. that wasjohn danks reporting.
