Comments:This deep wreck is for the advanced wreck diver only. The Suffolk went down in a gale in December 1943. The crew perished in the icy water with two survivors making it to a life raft where they died after two days of exposure. The wreck is turtled over with openings large enough to get inside. The props are a pronounced feature of the wreck.

U-853

Type of vessel: German U-Boat Type IXC/40
Date sunk: May 5 - 6, 1945
Depth: 125 ft
Average Vis: 35 ft
Boat ride: 2 hrs
Comments: This wreck was the last German U-boat sunk in American waters. On May 4th, Grand Admiral Donitz ordered a cease fire for all U-boats. The U-853 never acknowledged receipt this order. On the afternoon of May 5th, the U-853 torpedoed and sank the small collier Black Point. The Navy responded by sending the Destroyer Escort Atherton and the Coast Guard Frigate Moberly to hunt down the U-853. The U-boat's luck had just run out. Throughout the night and into the morning the U-boat was hunted and depth charged. At 10:45 am May 6th, the group commander McCune declared the U-boat had been sunk and was lying on the bottom. The German government considers the U-853 a war grave so please keep this in mind when diving it. Penetrating the wreck is not necessary to make this a memorable one. Although penetration into this wreck is possible care must be taken not to stir up the silt and should only be done by the very experienced diver.

Here are two sites that have more info on the U-853 and the type IXC boat.
