SUMMARY:U-Boats in New England
DESCRIPTION:An illustrated talk by maritime historian Eric Wiberg\nSunday\, September 12th\, 2021 \nTime: 4-5 p.m. \nStarting weeks after Hitler declared war on the United States in mid-December 1941 and lasting until the war with Germany was all but over\, 73 German U-Boats sustainably attacked New England waters\, from Montauk\, N.Y. to the tip of Nova Scotia at Cape Sable. Fifteen percent of these U-boats were sunk by Allied counter-attacks\, five surrendered in the region\, and three were sunk off New England—Block Island\, Massachusetts Bay\, and off Nantucket. There were 34 Allied merchant or naval ships sunk by these subs. Over 1\,100 men were thrown in the water and 545 of them made it ashore in New England ports and 428 were killed. Importantly\, saboteurs were landed at three locations: Long Island\, Frenchman’s Bay\, Maine and New Brunswick Canada. Wiberg’s talk chronicles these stories and more.\nThis illustrated talk will be both “In-Person” at the Museum and a Virtual Program. Seating is limited for those who wish to attend live.
