HMS E18 hittad

[Marcus]

Vraket efter HMS E18 har hittats i Östersjön.

The wreck of a British naval submarine lost for more than 90 years has been found in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Estonia.
HMS E18 - with its complement of three officers and 28 ratings - went out on patrol in May 1916 and was never seen again.
The submarine was one of a handful sent to the Baltic during World War I by Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, to disrupt German shipments of iron ore from Sweden and support the Russian navy.
E18 left its base in the Russian port of Reval - now Tallinn, the capital of Estonia - on the evening of 25 May 1916 and headed west.
The following day she was reported to have engaged and torpedoed a German ship.
A few days later, possibly 2 June, she is believed to have struck a German mine and sunk with all hands.
[...]
The submarine was found last weekend close to the Estonian island of Hiiumaa by a Swedish marine survey company, MMT.

Vem är det som initerar den här letningen och vem betalar?

Har förstått att det handlar om privata initiativ, och privata pengar. Egna pengar, lånade pengar och sponsorpengar o.s.v. En blandning av hobby- och näringsverksamhet. Eller kanske snarare (dyk)entusiaster som har gjort sin hobby till sitt yrke.
