U-534 event this Friday at @WestApproaches! Pop in between 12:30 and 14:30 to listen to our #shipwreckords that spent decades underwater, handle artefacts, and chat to one of our team about all things #uboat. No extra charge (just museum entry), should be a nice geeky afternoon.

We've cleaned up some of U-534's gramophone records and despite spending 50 years under the sea, they still play! If you didn't catch us on the news this week, here's a full recording of Strauss' "Künstlerleben", recovered from onboard the salvaged sub: youtu.be/1RtOpoiZ5T8

Birkenhead girl.....four Oscar nominations and two wins, two Emmy awards and a Tony award. Then went from acting into politics. Unbelievable. If she was from London, they'd have statues of her.

These gramophone records spent almost 50 years in the Baltic Sea, entombed inside a sunken u-boat...and we think we might be able to play them! That's got to be a world first, surely...? #shipwreckords #vinylcommunity #recordcollection

We've got a bunch of big steel HP air flasks that might still contain 1940s air! Reckon any climate scientists etc might find them useful?🤣

Until this week, the only pre-sinking photo we'd ever seen of U-534 was taken from the bomber that sank her... But thanks to the U-Boot Archive we now have a selection of photos of the sub in wartime service! Very excited to share more in the future.

We're happy to announce that U-534 will be joined by our new acquisition - a TBM Avenger. These torpedo bombers are famed for their use in the Pacific, but also served with distinction against u-boats in the Atlantic. Thanks @IWMDuxford for your support in making this happen.

U-534 wasn't the only u-boat to visit Liverpool...her near-identical sister U-532 docked here after surrendering, and was inspected by none other than Admiral Sir Max Horton - the commander in chief of @WestApproaches! Here he is stepping aboard in 1945.
