The Royal Navy Submarine Museum just across the harbour has an amazing archive of old submarine photos on their Facebook page and are also doing ‘On This Day’ updates, today’s is the sinking of Submarine Artemis:

“1 July 1971- Submarine Artemis founders whilst alongside at Dolphin. The boat sank stern first due to errors on trim following a docking: hatches were fouled by electricity cables and could not be shut”.

Be sure to like the museum’s Facebook page to be kept up to date and have a look at the photo archive too.
