The
German type VIIC uboat was the most widely used submarine
in Kriegsmarine under second world war. U-260 was launched
8. February 1942 in Bremen and did two patrols, and sank
one ship in her career. She was heavily damaged by a
mine outside Ireland 12. March 1945, and the crew was
forced to scuttle her. The crew was picked up by
Royal Navy and interned in Ireland for the rest of the
war. The wreck was found by divers in 1985 on a depth of
38 to 42 meter with a slight listing towards port outside
Union Hall, southwest of Cork.
