TB-95 vs U 35 / Walney Island
Posted by: Nom Anor ()

Greetings. I have two questions about U-boats:

First, I had read somewhere(unfortunately I can’t remember where, but I took a note) that Gibraltar-based British torpedoboat TB-95 made an unsuccessful attack on U 35 on 16 October 1917. But now I have come to suspect the truth of this: Did TB-95 really attack U 35 that day? Or did she encounter some other German submarine? Or, did she maybe attack an imaginary submarine?( we know that such things happen!)

My other question is, according to Gibson and Prendergast’s book “The German Submarine War 1914-1918”, a U-boat shelled Walney Island in the Irish Sea on 8 March 1917. This is a very old book, but I assume this information is correct. In that case, is it known which U-boat carried out this bombardment?

With respect,
Nom Anor
