Once in a while you come across an exhilarating story based on a new discovery… After teaching World War I and talking about militarism and the build up of new weapons including submarines, the advance in U-boats, their strategic use, their advantages over other crafts, etc. I stumbled upon a SPIEGEL ONLINE article entitled “The Secret of the Pearl Island” where Jim Delgado has made a great discovery while on vacation!
This is a cool story! Finds like this is what makes history such a great subject…! It is like finding Antonio Vivaldi’s music in a hidden drawer in an old school piece of furniture, or discovering a George Washington letter at a garage sale in Philadelphia – you get the idea…
