U-boat Propeller appearance
Posted by: Keith Gill ()
Date: January 22, 2005 02:17AM

I am searching for pictures of U-boat propellers either during manufactur or on a u-boat in drydock. I am intersted in seeing their appearance either as brand new or after 1-3 years in the water.

We are preparing to clean the props on the U505 and need to have some historical reference for basing our decision on how they should appear.

Ideally shots of props in shipyard prior to fitting on a boat.

I have shots from the National Archives of U873 in drydock and also U858.

I realize most if not all will be black and white but they will still be of help.

If anyone has any suggestions I would welcome them. I am contacting modern shipyards for help in this regard as well as Norfolk Naval Shipyard in case U-boat sources are inconclusive.

Thanks in advance,

Keith Gill
Curator U-505
