Salvage of Torpedoed Ships Reported by London
A London notice says since January 1915, 407 ships sunk by U boats have been salvaged. Improved methods, including compressed air pioneered by Wotherspoon, may aid further recoveries in shallow North Sea channels and Irish Sea waters. Estimated total salvage tonnage could approach 1.25 million tons, offsetting wartime losses.
