Framed Print of Captured German submarine U-1023 on show at West Bute Basin, Cardiff Docks

Captured German submarine U-1023 on show at West Bute Basin, Cardiff Docks, Circa July 1945.
When hostilities ceased, boats still at sea were ordered to head for one of a number of designated ports and U-1023 was ordered to the Channel port of Weymouth, Dorset where her surrender was formally accepted on the 10th May 1945.
She was nominated for Operation DeadlightO, the deliberate destruction and sinking of the majority of the German submarine fleet. However, being so new and in good condition it was decided that U-1023 would visit various ports around the British coast, manned by a Royal Navy crew (with possible German crew members to assist), in order to raise funds for the King GeorgeOs Fund for Sailors. After setting out from Portland, Dorset, on the 25th May 1945, U-1023 (now with a Royal Navy designation N-83) called at Plymouth, Bristol, Cardiff, the Liverpool area, Belfast, Glasgow, and the Isle of Mull. The tour ended at the Royal Naval base at Lisahally, in Lough Foyle near Londonderry in Northern Ireland on 14 August. © Mirrorpix
