Silent Warriors
Submarine Wrecks of the United Kingdom
Volume Three
Pamela Armstrong and Ron Young
Publication: 10th January 2011, £19.99 paperback original, 978-0-7524-5542-6
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
Pamela Armstrong is a former historical consultant for Tyne Tees Television. She lives in Blaydon-on-Tyne.
Ron Young spent 35 years wreck diving. His previous publications include: Silent Warriors, Volumes One and Two, Shipwrecks of the East Coast, Volumes One and Two. He lives in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear.
This book can be found at The History Press.
