Apparently The US Coast Guard on February 18, 2016 braved the frigid water temperature to attach cables to the Submarine Wreck for the recovery operation, the submarine was identified as the UX-791, A unique experimental German Submarine based on the U-1200 model, and was known to have participated in the "Battle Of The St Lawrence". It was reported missing in 1943 and was believed to have been sunk near the Canadian Coast.

I received this story as quite a long email last week and since then I've been scratching my head, because I am absolutely certain a submerged submarine could not make it into Lake Ontario before the Seaway was completed in 1959.
