Not a U-Boat, but here is SMS Vulkan, a submarine recovery ship which became the floating location of the first Unterseebootschule.

And here is a model of her in the Maritime Museum in Hamburg showing her from a better angle and illustrating how she would be positioned over a sunken U-Boat which would then be winched into the gap between the two parts of her hull.

Mel: Those are super photos. Is that that U-35 in the upper photo? And the U-Deutschland photo is really impressive. That looks like it was taken in June 1916 on her departure from Helgoland to Baltimore. Where did you find the album? Dwight

Redcap: SMS Vulkan is indeed an interesting ship and one that used several times in WWI. Dwight
