New photo German WWI submarine RESURFACES 100 years after crew abandoned craft to surrender

The wreck of a German submarine which ran aground in World War One has resurfaced off the coast of France.

Sand movements on the beach of Wissant, near Calais, have caused the UC-61 to reappear more than 100 years after it was scuttled.  

The submarine was flooded by the men onboard in July 1917 and all 26 members surrendered to French authorities.

Parts of the submerged vessel appear every two to three years but usually disappear quickly

The mayor of Wissant Bernard Bracq said that the UC-61 appears 'every two to three years' but after a 'good gust of wind the wreck will disappear again.'  

Parts of the vessel have also been visible at low tide, about 100m from the dunes, since December, reports the BBC.

However now it is hoped more of the submarine will be revealed with local tour guide Vincent Schmitt hoping the winds and tides will unearth the rest of it.

He said: 'Pieces reappear from time to time, but this is the first time we have discovered so much.' 

Historians believe the UC-61, pictured on Wednesday, sunk at least 11 ships during the War

Historians believe the UC-61 sunk at least 11 ships, either by laying mines or by firing torpedoes. 

The vessel got stuck in the sand during heavy fog and was destroyed by its crew to stop it being captured by the Allies, reports CNN.

The UC-61 had been heading to Boulogne-sue-Mer and Le Havre when it got into difficulties, reports the Mirror. 

The submarine had a dive time of 48 seconds and was capable of operating at a depth of 50 metres (160 ft).

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
