A German U-boat said lost after a "monster attack" off Scotland during the first world war may have been recently found by engineers laying underwater power cables. Already the find is being tied to the Loch Ness monster.
Naval folklore had suggested that submarine UB-85 sank in 1918 because of a "monster attack," according to BBC News, and experts believe the submarine found off the Galloway coast could be the same vessel.
The Mirror said the wreckage was stumbled on by the Western Link cable-laying project of ScottishPower and National Grid and sonar images appear to show a U-boat mostly intact, said BBC News.
The U-boat's commander, Captain Günther Krech, described the encounter after the crew was rescued and aboard the British ship HMS Coreopsis, said the BBC News. Krech said his U-Boat could not dive because of damage caused by a "strange beast" that jumped out of the water, said The Guardian...

Sounds like the German captain decided to spin quite the yarn about why he was surrendering.
