Meet UB-65, the Haunted Submarine of World War 1


The German submarine UB-65 was built in 1916 during the First World War. From the start she was considered an unlucky vessel. During its construction a series of accidents killed five men and injured several others. The crew being highly suspicious were reluctant to sail. Yet the ship was badly needed, and, despite the ominous signs of impending doom, was launched. Yet a week later a steel beam was swinging in to position when without warning it crashed to the floor killing two men.

The series of disasters continued when, during the boats first dive one of the crew, for no apparent reason, jumped overboard. The captain continued the mission as if nothing had happened. But when he tried to surface the submarine would not rise. Sea water began seeping in to the ship, soon reaching the batteries and causing them to give off deadly fumes. The captain eventually managed to bring the vessel to the surface but the crew were almost dead from suffocation.
