From the coast of north Cornwall to the Isle of Man, a detailed exploration of submarine wrecks in war and peace

The third book in a comprehensive trilogy exploring the British Isles’ submarine wrecks, this volume covers the vessels lost between the coast of north Cornwall and the Isle of Man. This area was a particularly pitiless arena in both the First and Second World Wars as a life or death struggle was played out between U-boats attempting to close sea-lanes and Allied ships striving to keep them open.

 Throws controversial new light on the Thetis disaster, based on material that hasn’t been examined before
 Based on years of international archival research and expert analysis
 Many first-hand accounts from those who escaped from stricken submarines
 Illustrated with photographs, charts and maps
 Includes lost SM Imperial and Kriegsmarine U-boats
 For each wreck, information is given about the date of the loss, technical specifications, a history of the sub and its final patrol, the fatalities and the site of the wreck
