Two fish in the seawater
An unsuspecting tanker
Gruesome – no survivors
Periscope up to inspect
Lurks beneath once again.
U-Boat 33 captain plots
Finds new shipping lane
Down goes another vessel
Unterseeboot surfaces
Machine guns survivors.
Naval ship sent to sink
Nothing shows on radar
Two torpedoes dispersed
Ship zigzags – fish miss
Counter-measures launched.
Estimates last German position
Depth charges spank the water
Explosions quite deafening
Criss-cross to be more effective
U-Boat 33 now miles away.
Ultimate prize – Qe2 awaits
Unterseeboot surprise visit
Surfaces and readies deck gun
Passengers horrified at view
Skeletons in WWI uniforms.
Were suppose to be all dead
U-Boat 33 was sunk in 1918
This is 2009 – 91 years later
“Wertsachen oder versenkt werden muss!”
Translation: “Valuables now or be sunk!”
Exploratory ship sent to confirm
U-Boat 33’s final resting place
Sat at the bottom in shallow water
Divers very aghast – return to surface
Brought up Qe2’s passengers cache.
