SM U-122

United Kingdom / England / Allhallows /
 shipwreck, submarine
Wreck of a scuttled WW1 U-Boat approximately 150ft long. Uncovered at low tide. The serrated "net-cutter" is still visible. She was on her way to the Scapa Flow fleet when she ran aground here. She was later broken up. Unlike her two counterparts that were also going to Scapa Flow to be scrapped when they broke free and ran aground, she wasn't scavenged as much for metal due to her location.
