Jacob Jones destroyed the First World War very quickly - in 8 minutes - so only 46 out of 110 sailors escaped. Until recently, his ship's crash remained a mystery. The other day, a group of experienced deep -water divers from the UK stated that near the English coast, she installed the crash of the American destroyer Jacob Jones, who drove a German submarine torpedo in 1917, in the midst of World War I. About it reports The New York Post.

Representatives of the US Navy and Heritage Department (NHHC) reported that a group of divers from the British DarkStar organization found the wreckage of a ship near a small English archipelago of Silly. The ship had to patrol and accompany the convoy along the UK coast since May 1917. But on December 6 it was flooded. The destroyer was about 100 miles from the English shore, near the La Manshu, when the German torpedo made the board of his board.

According to historians, only 46 out of 110 sailors managed to escape on the rafts before the ship went to the bottom for 8 minutes. According to some reports, after flooding, the crew of a German submarine pulled out two prisoners of war from cold waters and reported on the American base on the need for rescue ships. Due to the fact that the destroyer has dropped more than 1000 tons very quickly, the place of his crash of the ship has remained a secret for more than a hundred years.

According to the dives, the ship lies at a depth of more than 120 meters, they also reported that they did not take anything from the scene of the ship. According to historians, the destroyer was given the function of a working horse - he saved hundreds of people from torpedo ships. It is believed that by the end of the war in November 1918, the German fleet drove more than 5,000 commercial ships and about 100 soldiers. In the future, US representatives will be managed by the US accident.
