Video survey of German U-boat discovered off Shetland

The submarine UC-55 was sunk in 1917 by the Royal Navy around eight miles south-east of Lerwick, with 11 crew members dying and the survivors being taken as prisoners of war.

Now, 106 years later, divers aboard the Stromness boat Valhalla have found the submarine almost in the same condition as she was left.
