U 680 (prob.)

Shipwreck

What is recorded here

U 680 (prob.) is a submarine wreck lying 120m deep off County Antrim, lost in 1945. Its ghost measure stretches 76m across the seafloor, tall enough to tower over a person but narrow enough to force past like a throat. The depression holds it steady instead of dragging it aside, as if the sea accepted the shape and stopped fighting it.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies U 680 (prob.) as Submarine. It was lost in 1945. Recorded depth: 120m. Recorded condition: Lies in depression (not scour). Anomaly = 76m long X 4m high.
U 680 (prob.) was a German U-boat lost in 1945, likely during the final months of World War II. It sank without being attacked, as part of the Allied operation to scuttle or recover German submarines in Norwegian waters; no lives or cargo were lost.

A wreck point does not grant access or permission to dive, enter land, disturb the site or recover anything. Check current law and local conditions first.
