Success!

This is coolbert:

AE1 found!

"Missing WW1 submarine AE1 found with underwater camera"

From "The Australian " and the article by Stephen Fitzpatrick thanks to Freeper for the tip.

"A bold bid to locate the wreck of Australia’s first submarine has been successful, with the final resting place of 35 World War One servicemen off Papua New Guinea captured on underwater camera. The fate of AE1 has long been a mystery, with a three-day search after it disappeared on patrol in waters between New Ireland and New Britain on September 14, 1914, just seven months into service, proving fruitless. It can now be revealed the boat suffered a catastrophic failure, probably during a practice dive, and struck a hard rocky bottom southeast of the Duke of York islands group"

TOO ALL INVOLVED GOOD JOB! WELL DONE!
