Diving team believe deep North Sea find is long-lost HMS Hawke, sunk by German U-boat 110 years ago
The team found what it thinks is HMS Hawke – which sank after being hit by a German torpedo in October 1914 – in the North Sea earlier this week.
“She is virtually intact,” he told AFP. “The state of preservation is unbelievable for a wreck that’s 110 years old and came to a violent end.” The team is now awaiting official confirmation from the Royal Navy after providing it with their findings. “All the brass work on the wreck, like the portholes and the breaches for the deck guns, are all still shiny … it’s probably due to the fact that she was just built so well.”
