Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
The Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group conducted the first comprehensive underwater and historical survey of the German U-1105 “Black Panther” in nearly thirty years thanks to a non-capital grant from the Maryland Historical Trust. The U-1105 is Maryland’s first historic shipwreck preserve. Leveraging new archival data, divers conducted a multi-year evaluation of one of the most unique German U-boats to conduct a wartime patrol. This presentation provides an overview of the survey findings that included a comparative analysis of the original survey work completed during 1993-1995, and recommended next steps for the project.
