Divers Locate 1944 Shipwreck 400 Feet Deep Off Maine After 82 Years

Divers from the Nomad Exploration Team have found the wreck of the SS Cornwallis almost 400 feet beneath the surface. The vessel was torpedoed by a German submarine in December 1944, and 43 crew members lost their lives. In the days before the attack, the same submarine had secretly put two Nazi spies ashore on the coast of Maine. The find sheds new light on a wartime episode involving espionage during World War II.
