U166 crew list
U166 crew list- A science expedition recently explored the remains of the only World War II German Uboat, U166, sunk in the Northern Gulf of Mexico The U166 was discovered in 5,000 feet of water in 01 while C & C Technologies, Inc was conducting a pipeline survey with their HUGIN 3000 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for BP and Shell International As the U166 dove under the surface, PC566 dropped depth charges, in hopes of hitting the Uboat Ten crewmen and 15 passengers were lost aboard the SS Robert E Lee One of the crew killed aboard the Robert E Lee was a female mariner from New Orleans, Winifred Grey Although it was not immediately clear if U166 had been hit by the depth
U166 (Wreck) USA / Louisiana / Dulac / World / USA / Louisiana / Dulac World / United States / Louisiana Second World War , place with historical importance, shipwreck, submarine Approximate location of U166She was a German Type IXC UBoat of World War IIShe was sunk on by the USS PC566She is at a depth of 5,000 ft On , U505 was bombed with depth charges by British destroyers In the midst of the attack, Peter Zschech, the commander of the sub, shot himself in the head in front of his crew in the control room In an account of the day's events, a crewman named Hans Goebler notes that Zschech didn't fully die by the gunshot and was making loud sounds after he The freighter had been heading for the southern US city of New Orleans, and was carrying 400 passengers and crew Twentyfive of the people on board died Salvage workers have been trying to locate the U166 ever since it was sunk by the US military a short time later All 52 crewmembers on board the submarine were killed
U166 was sunk after the attack by the escorting USS PC566 According to "A Careless Word, A Needless sinking" by Arthur R Moore, Robert E Lee was in Convoy TAW 7 at the time (external link as will be seen, this convoy is said to have arrived Key West already on July 28, 2 days before Robert E Lee was sunk) This book says she had a complement of 131, 6 Naval Armed Guard and Nevertheless the U166 was later learned to have been sunk a few days earlier (un sunk later on the 30th) by a Navy patrol vessel, USS PC566 The crew of Escanaba used a new rescue technique when pulling survivors from the water Then, within minutes, the U166 was itself destroyed by Navy planes In 01, the very submarine featured in The Heart Mender was found by a petroleum survey crew The U166 was identified and is still virtually intact It lies about 40 miles off the coast of Venice, Louisiana in 5,000 feet of water

The US Navy therefore erred in not giving credit for the destruction of the U166 to the USS PC566 and her crew In numerous bottom searches of the area of the reported attack by the USCG J4F Widgeon, no wreckage of any kind has been found Interestingly, another Uboat, the U171, reported coming under attack by an Allied aircraft on 1 Among those is the 1941 German submarine U166, which was sunk by Allied forces Its wreckage was discovered on , "nearly aI have the Contessa's Merchant crew list, Armed Guard Action Reports, and a list of armed guard members I haven't been able to locate a ship's log for the Contessa for its voyage to Morocco and back to NY, October thru December, 1942, but do have logs
The discovery of U166 () This boat was finally discovered and documented in late May 01 after many years of unsuccessful research and wreckhunting The wreck was located some 45 miles south of the mouth of Mississippi River, by C & C Technologies, with their AUV, during oil survey work for BP Amoco and ShellThe Uboat U3523 is the last German submarine sunk in combat in World War II On the other hand, the U3523 Uboat is no different from the others built at the end of the war type XXI submarines a series of German dieselelectric submarines fromU7 through U24 plus U1 and U121 They were used mainly for training The Type IIB carried six torpedoes or eight mines Displacement 279/329 tons
