    The SM U118 was a German submarine that served during World War 1. It sank two British ships, a steamer and a tanker, before surrendering to the Allies in 1919. While being towed to France, the SM U118 encountered a storm and its tow rope broke, causing it to sink off the coast of Hastings, England in front of the Queens Hotel. Several attempts were made to refloat the submarine or destroy it, but it remained sunk, becoming a tourist attraction for two weeks before the city received money to use for returning soldiers.
