A German submarine used during the World War I was found off the shores of Ostend in the North Sea, has revealed for La Libre Belgique on Tuesday, Carl Decaluwé, the governor of West Flanders.

The wreckage contained the bodies of 23 crew members and the equipment was almost intact, the divers have revealed.


Also, the 27-meters-long ship was in an excellent shape.


“The submarine is in such good condition that we presume that all the bodies are still on board”, stated the governor, shortly after the incredible discovery was made public.


According to Flanders News, the submarine was probably sunk by a mine, because except for the damaged areas noticed on its bridge, the ship is almost intact.


Although experts believe the ship dates back from the World War I era, its exact identity is still not known.
