- The LS 6 vessel was discovered 315 feet underwater and largely intact.
- Researchers spent over a decade searching for the rare Kriegsmarine boat.
A German military vessel, identified as LS 6, which disappeared during World War II, has been discovered off the coast of Greece. A dedicated team of divers and researchers located the Light Fast Boat north of the island of Lefkada in the Ionian Sea. The extensive search effort, which began in 2013, involved years of historical research and the study of naval records.
The Kriegsmarine boat was found resting at a depth of 315 feet. Despite being submerged for approximately eight decades, the wreck is remarkably well-preserved, aiding in its identification. The discovery is the culmination of a decade-long pursuit, initiated by historical clues about the vessel's loss between Lefkada and Preveza.
Researchers are planning to release further details about the evidence supporting the identification of LS 6 and their findings at the site. This discovery represents a significant journey through time, bringing a forgotten piece of history to light.
