In Search of the U-550

Early on the morning of April 16, 1944 the German U-boat U-550 torpedoed one of the largest tankers in the world, the T-3 tanker SS Pan Pennsylvania. Less than three hours later the U-550 and 41 of her crew would be lying on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. For sixty-six years the final resting place of the U-550 has eluded all those who have sought her. Join Mark Munro as he takes us on a journey through seven months of research and planning which culminates in a 2010 expedition eighty miles south of Nantucket Island In Search of the U-550.
