TRAGIC IOLAIRE AMONG 15 NEW SHIPWRECKS PROTECTED
02 September 2019
The final resting places of 571 people who lost their lives at sea around the UK will be protected by the Ministry of Defence.
The wrecks of another 15 ships and submarines – including seven U-boats – will be given additional legal protection by Whitehall as it adds to an already-extensive list of hallowed sites enshrined in UK law.
Among the shipwrecks now covered by the 1986 Protection of Military Remains Act is one of Scotland’s worst wartime tragedies.

Re: Protected Wrecks Around the UK
I see that German submarine UC32, which sank off Sunderland, is not listed. The wreck was blown up a few years ago because of unexploded ordnance, so not sure if any of it remains https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ ... -u-8319593
