Mesmerising footage of the wreck of a US warship that sank during World War One has been released.<\/p>\n
Divers have explored the remains of USS Jacob Jones for the first time, 105 years after it went down off the Cornish coast.<\/p>\n
A total of 66 servicemen were lost after the vessel was torpedoed by a German submarine, on 6 December 1917. <\/p>\n
Plymouth diver Dom Robinson, who was part of Team Darkstar, said the find was “every diver’s dream”.<\/p>\n
The USS Jacob Jones, was found more than 100m under the water on 11 August with some of its features still intact.<\/p>\n
The ship’s torpedo tubes, bell and boilers are clearly visible in the footage.<\/p>\n
Mr Robinson said the team, which spent more than a year planning the trip, were in talks with the US embassy about what happens next.<\/p>\n
“The discovery of the USS Jacob Jones and the remains of those who lost their lives onboard more than a century ago is truly at the heart of the American Battle Monuments Commission’s charge to honour the memories of our missing and to keep their legacies alive,” a spokeswoman for the American Battle Monuments Commission said.<\/p>\n
“Even after more than 100 years, we never forget the sacrifices that were made in the name of freedom.” <\/p>\n
