How a British Ship Smashed a German Submarine!

Aug 14, 2025

In one of the most incredible incidents of World War One, a sinking Steamship unexpectedly smashed into the submarine that had just torpedoed it - resulting in the demise of the skipper! This amazing event is just one of many unbelievable stories that surround the SS East Point and it's nemesis the German u-boat SM U-48.

In this video whilst diving the wreck of the SS East Point in 67 metres, I provide full details of what happened during this bizarre event and what happened afterwars. I also cover the impressive career of the East Point's skipper, Harold Young, including his award of the Distinguised Service Cross for his role in the Gallipoli campaign.
