520    "In the tradition of Shadow Divers, this is the gripping 
       true account of the search for German U-boat U-550, the 
       last unfound, diveable wreck of a U-boat off the United 
       States coast, and the battle in which it was sunk. On 
       April 16, 1944, the SS Pan Pennsylvania was torpedoed and 
       sunk by the German submarine U-550 off the coast of 
       Nantucket, Massachusetts. In return the sub was driven to 
       the surface with depth charges, and then sent to the 
       bottom of the ocean by three destroyer escorts that were 
       guarding the naval convoy. For more than sixty years the 
       location of the U-boat's wreck eluded divers. In 2012, a 
       team found it--the last undiscovered U-boat in dive-able 
       waters off the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, more
       than three hundred feet below the surface. This is the 
       story of their twenty-year quest to find this "Holy Grail"
       of deep-sea diving and their tenacious efforts to dive on 
       this treacherous wreck--and of the stunning clash at sea 
       that sealed its doom and brought the Battle of the 
       Atlantic to America's doorstep"--|cProvided by publisher.
