Survey of the U-1105

Aaron Hamilton

At the January 19 CCASM meeting Aaron S. Hamilton provided an update on the underwater survey of the U-1105 German submarine shipwreck that the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group (BAREG) is doing for the State of Maryland.  In additional to indicating the current state of the wreck, Aaron talked about the historical significance of the U-1105 and its four evolutionary technologies   Aaron was able to provide some of their findings but the final report will not come out until next year.  Overall it was quite an informative talk.

The U-1105 shipwreck preserve is off Piney Point, Maryland.

Aaron S. Hamilton is a published historian and avocational maritime archaeologist trained through the Nautical Archaeological Society. He is a founding member of the BAREG and has participated in both fieldwork or research on nearly a dozen surveyed wrecks from World War II.

A special thanks to Aaron for battling the Beltway traffic to travel to Charles County.
