Torpedo Boat
A German Type XX1 (21) class submarine arrives in Dun Laoghaire.  After the war, After the war a lot of U-boats were scuttled by the Royal Navy to prevent them falling into enemy hands again. One such operation of sinkings was carried out from Lisahally, Northern Ireland.  For example, the former German U-2511 left Bergen on 14 June, 1945 for lay-up at Lisahally. She arrived there on 21 June. The boat's career ended on 7 January, 1946 at 1940hrs at position 55.33,08N, 07.38,07W, where she was scuttled. Could this be that particular vessel? Would she have travelled to Northern Ireland "south about" and via Dun Laoghaire?
