The imperial minelayer submarine UC 71 sank after the first world war on the delivery drive to britain.

The wreck was visited in 1997 (after successful special permit request of the WSA) in a prohibited area near helgoland from Ingo with his wreck-search boat "Elbe II" with the help of a sonic depth finder some hundred meters away from the calculated position. The wreck was in well state at this time.
