I recall being fitted with a pink and yellow fin together with a leaking mask. From those early days, scuba diving has certainly been an adventure.
The Dovre rammed the Cuvier in the starboard quarter around 5.00am that dark morning. Flooding quickly, she trapped sleeping crew in their bunks.
The Maloja was about 2 nautical miles off Dover when her starboard quarter struck one of the mines laid by U-Boat SM UC-6.
