Regarding the sinking of U-58:

The interactive map in the "Fates" section and the U-58 article here at uboat.net (and wikipedia) claim she was sunk at 5132N 0521W off the coast of Pembrokeshire in the Bristol Channel.

I emailed the author of this website:

and received the following answer:

Hi Wikipedia is incorrect on this one. U-58 was definitely sunk outside the harbour [Cork] and lies in about 70m. It was dived by ... and ... in the mid- 1990's, but they only did a bounce dive.

I have seen the officical records for the sinking and have no idea why
Wikipedia should put the other position out.
