Shipwreck confirmed to be U.K. cruiser sunk by torpedo during World War I

The wreck of the HMS Hawke, a British cruiser sunk during World War I, has been discovered off the coast of Scotland, with experts confirming it was torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1914, killing over 500 crew members.

The wreck, found in remarkable condition 70 miles east of Fraserburgh by volunteer divers, was identified through video, photos, and scans.

On October 15, 1914, the U-9 submarine, captained by Otto Weddigen, sank the ship in under eight minutes, with only 70 survivors.

The ship, located 360 feet underwater, contained well-preserved artifacts, including Royal Navy crockery, CBS News has reported.
