I am trying to find info on a great uncle and find out how the submarine he died on was sunk and if anyone has found it or if it was retrieved at the time. His name was Frank Johnson service number in British Navy was 235331. I have found from the Gosport Museum that he was on E 47 which sank on 20/8/1917. His sister told us when I was little that the torpedo tubes let in water flooding the vestal, however, Gosport could not tell me this and I do not know how the family would have known that if it sank. Especially if Gosport did not have this information. I am sure if it was a secret it would be historically no longer sensitive. I believe it left from a North Sea Port. I have asked a diving club in Southsea if anyone up north may be able to say if it is a wreck still on the sea bed but have drawn a blank.

If Eric Grove is able to find out what happened to it and if it has been found I would be happy to know. If it has I would like to know the coordinates in case I can ask anyone who has been diving in that area if it has been seen.

I can be reached on antheagrrr@gmail.com. My name is Anthea Haseler. My maternal grand mother married a Wilkinson though Frank was her brother.
