has been discarded. $230 |

TA-407 Very historic hatch from the SS Black Point, a
transport ship sunk by German U-Boat "U-853" on May 5TH, the
day before the German surrender, off the coast of New
England. The order was given to all U Boat crews to cease
operations on May 4TH. It is unknown if U-853 did not
receive the order or simply ignored it, but the U Boat
sent 2 torpedoes into the side of the Black Point
sinking the ship and killing some of the crew. There was a
Naval Task Force nearby that responded and after a
protracted search and destroy mission, the sub was finally
sunk. This hatch was purchased from the Diver who recovered
it in the 1980s. It is heavy at 30 lbs, so keep that in mind
for shipping. $395$SOLD$
