Thetis Disaster, June 1, 1939
Hello everyone
Snappel's wonderful photographs of Kriegsmarine U534 raised and being exhibited in Birkenhead reminded me of another submarine disaster, the loss of HMS Thetis which was sunk off the Great Orme while undergoing sea trials after sailing out of Liverpool Bay. See Thetis and Thunderbolt and HMS Thetis on Anglesey Heritage Site.
