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.
