A mine laid by SMS UC-1 off Yarmouth, England was located on May 11, 1917 by the minesweeper trawler HMS Bracklyn. Unfortunately she found the mine the old fashion way, by hitting it. The former fishing trawler sank taking eleven of her crew with her. I have not been able to locate any other details of the loss. |
