Default German U-Boat may be at the bottom of Churchill River

This is really cool if true. About 50 U-boats were unaccounted for after the end of World War II. There were always reports of U-Boats coming down the St. Lawrence, but no hard evidence of it happening (at least not to my knowledge).

This would blow the Nazi weather station found in Labrador as well out of the water.

Pun intended.

Pretty interesting stuff. I'd love to see the underwater photos, etc. I think surviving in one of those World War II submarines was a little bit of a crap shoot.

I know there is one about 10-20 Kms off the PEI North Cape in the Gulf of St Lawrence. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some in Hudsons Bay too

I thought they meant the Churchill River that runs through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

That's really neat, though. Same with the Nazi weather station they rediscovered.

Now, that would be a huge story!

A lot of those were sunk off eastern canada by sub hunters but never actually reported as lost by the germans, quite a few more were caught in sub nets in harbours along the eastern seaboard, It's reported that the harbour in Sydney NS could have as much as 6 lying on the bottom.

The germans reported sunken subs when someone got a glimpse of the number and even then they mostly reported them as scuttled by the crew. and of course reported the crew were slaughtered afterward.
