TerryG Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I have just looked through the photos of U-boats posted by 2 other members and I am envious. Big contrast with the photos taken in Birkenhead of U534. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryG Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 The tower has been re-built and you can see the effects of the depth charge that sunk her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryG Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Torpedoe tubes.....compare with Michel's photos!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryG Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 The galley - again compare with Michel's photo of the same area. This sub has been left in the state in which it was found in the 1990's. As you can see, there has been to attempt at restoration, except for the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sniper1shot Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think the two posts together are great. I watched them raise this sub on TV and these are the first photos I have seen of the inside since.Thanks.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Pardon my ignorance Terry, how did you get the photo's? Judging from the condition i should imagine she isn't open to the public.... Amos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryG Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 She is opened to the public. About ?7 gets you in with a guide. You will find her in Birkenhead docks (follow signs for "historic ships" or something like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byf Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Wow, where did you guys find this boat? In the book I have it was" bombed and sunk" in the Kattegat on 5/5/45. How was it found? How did you get it back to England? Keep up the good work.byf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffe Rules Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Man if they restore that sucker thatd be awsome! But IMO wouldnt leaving a rusting ship/sub out in the open to the elements cause it to deteriorate more? I mean it doesnt look like it has a coat of primer on it either. I hope they restore it!
