The Surrender of Four U-boats in Maine in 1945

In connection to yesterday's post about the German U-boat sailor along the Maine coast.  He must have been on one of these subnarines.

On May 7, 1945, four German U-boats that had been patrolling in the Gulf of Maine surrendered at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, the largest U.S. base on the Atlantic coast at that time.

One was kept on the Piscataqua River, and it is said that thousands of Mainers traveled many miles to come and see what had long been haunting their dreams.

Germany officially surrendered on May 7, 1945.
