 The Enemy in Home Waters: How World War I Came Home to North Carolina
When World War I began in 1914, U.S. Navy and American merchant vessels were largely unaffected as the early battles took place far from American shores. All that changed in May 1918, when the German submarine U-151 arrived off the U.S. East Coast, the first foreign enemy naval vessel to invade U.S. waters since the War of 1812. By the end of the war in 1918, three German U-boats, U-151, U-140, and U-117, had sunk a total of 10 vessels off North Carolina.

Dive Slates
Dive slates are created from data collected during an expedition to a shipwreck site. Site surveys and video and photographic data are used to create an accurate representation of the site as it existed at that time. Dive slates may be used for educational purposes or by recreational divers as they enjoy diving on the shipwrecks. To view the current dive slates, visit the Dive Slates web page.
