This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Neville Dear.

The Strange Story of the Haunted U-Boat. On its first dive, the UB-65 sank to the bottom of the ocean and was trapped there for twelve hours. Back in Bruges, a torpedo exploded killing the second lieutenant and five sailors.

A sailor is quivering in fear as he is discovered by the Captain and another rating. Those who didn't die aboard the UB-65 had a habit of deserting or going crazy. The submarine was later to explode for no apparent reason.

A very atmospheric painting by Neville Dear that was published in Look and Learn #550 29th July 1972.
