Pola u-boats 1918

Hello everyone

Does anyone have any information about what happened to the seven u-boats sunk with explosives at Pola on the Adriatic on 27 October 1918?

The scuttling happened after an order, at a day's notice, that all seaworthy u-boats were to return to Germany to be available for a ‘last stand’. No passengers were to be accommodated. The trip home has been discussed before in this forum. Boats not ready to sail within twenty-four hours were to be scuttled. Torpedo boat A 51 and a dockyard tug towed out the seven 'unseaworthy' u-boats for their sinking.

Are they still there? Is the position known? Have they been dived? Were any raised?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Best wishes
Chris Heal
