Greece's Coast Guard rescued on Wednesday night two people after their speed boat run aground and then sank in the area of Kouzounos, off the eastern coast of the island of Spetses.

Both men, aged 62 and 70, were able to abandon the sinking boat and board another vessel before the Coast Guard arrived to transport them to the port.

Germany had deployed a number of submarines to guard the North Sea and the English Channel hundred years ago when the WWI was in full swing. The Germans used to call those submarines 'U-boats' (or U-boot, abbreviation of Unterseeboot or undersea boat in German language). The destruction of enemy shipping by German U-boats was a spectacular feature of both WWI and WWII.
