On May 9, 1942, the U-352, a German U-boat, attacked the US Coast Guard cutter Icarus. Her torpedo exploded prematurely, revealing her presence and leading to her demise. Thirteen German sailors lost their lives in the battle. Today the submarine lies in 115' of water, upright but listing approximately 40 degrees to starboard. While most of the outer hull has rusted away the pressure hull remains intact. The interior is filled with sand and silt that is easily suspended. Entry into the sub can be acomplished easily through the forward torpedo loading hatch, though not recommended due to the hazardous interior. Artifacts are still recovered to this day, though most gauges and other ornaments have been removed.
