Hi Jim,

I will wage a friendly bet with you that NONE of the wrecks claimed at Tabarka are there. :-)

Having done quite a bit of naval research in various archives, I have not seen a single reference to Tabarka as far as submarines were concerned (Allied or Axis). It was just a fishing village during WW2 and did not warrant any interest. A minefield was laid off this port by German E-boats (29/30 April 1943) but this was to protect the Axis evacuation of Tunisia from the attacks of Allied MTBs based in Bone. To my knowledge the minefield did not cause any casualty.

However, I do not rule out that other wrecks, as yet unidentified and possibly from another era, could be there.

Best regards,

Platon
