From the May 29, 2012 Scotsman "Found after 70 years, the wreck of the U-1206."
It took a twelve year search by a team of divers, but the wreck of the U-1206, mentioned in yesterday's post, was found 12 miles off Cruden Bay, Scotland, in 86 meters of water.
According to its commander, Captain Karl Schlitt, "I was in the engine room, when, at the front of the boat, there was a water leak. What I have learned is a mechanic had tried to repair the forward WC's outboard vent."
WC refers to Water Closet, a term used for toilets.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
