How a British Ship Smashed a German Submarine!

In one of the most incredible incidents of World War One, a sinking Steamship unexpectedly smashed into the submarine that had just torpedoed it - resulting in the demise of the skipper! This amazing event is just one of many unbelievable stories that surround the SS East Point and it's nemesis the German u-boat SM U-48. In this video whilst diving the wreck of the SS East Point in 67 metres, I provide full details of what happened during this bizarre event and what happened afterwars. I also cover the impressive career of the East Point's skipper, Harold Young, including his award of the Distinguised Service Cross for his role in the Gallipoli campaign. *Thanks* Many thanks to the following - Curt Bowen for his AI creations - Rick Ayrton for use of his photos - @EricStott for his Shearwater overlay, you can watch his "how-to" video here - https://youtu.be/vASSF41EGCw?si=pAZc8BhrJd8rcxsR *Highlights* 00:00 Introduction 03:00 The sad tale of the selfie stick! 07:15 What happened to Kapitanleutnant Berndt Buss?? 11:30 How did the U-48 get back home? 15:20 The end of the U-48 in 1918 18:30 Who owns the East Point? 21:00 Lt Harold Young DSC - what a man! 22:45 The East Point in Gallipoli 28:55 Evacuation from Gallipoli
