02/08/1918: Torpedoed and sunk by UB.104 one mile N.N.E. of Flamborough Head on passage London for Leith. The captain and 13 men were killed.
In 1985 divers discovered the wreck of UB-107 one mile north of Flamborough Head entangled with another wreck, Malvina, a British steamship torpedoed and sunk on 3 August 1918 reported as being by UB-104, though UB-104's log says it was not in the area nor that it attacked a ship on that day. UB-107 was identified by the markings on her propellers.[1][2] It is suggested that either UB-107 suffered an accident of some sort or was lost on a British mine between July 28 and August 3, 1918 leaving all hands lost (38 dead).- ↑ UB-107 (Wreck). wikimapia.org.
