The vessel - the U-40 - was recently discovered by divers off the coast of Eyemouth in Berwickshire.
It is thought to have been among the first to have been lured by a decoy trawler and then torpedoed by a British submarine during the First World War.
It is the second such discovery in the waters off the Scottish Borders after a similar U-boat find in January 2008.
The U-40 was discovered by a team of divers from Eyemouth-based Marine Quest about 40 miles off the Berwickshire coast.
It was sunk on 23 June 1915 with the loss of 29 German sailors.....BBC

It sounds like divers will be busy for some time locating these wrecks.
