Dive Team Finds the SS Cornwallis--Lost for More Than 80 Years Off the Maine Coast!

Big news from good friends in the Maine diving community: the Nomad Exploration Team has discovered SS Cornwallis!

Having been part of the Eagle 56 discovery story, we know the persistence these searches demand. We’re thrilled for our friends—and this wreck has an extraordinary connection to Nazi spies.

Four days before sinking Cornwallis, the same German U-boat landed two intelligence agents on the Maine coast. A Boy Scout noticed something wrong. A local mother did, too. What followed was considerably more complicated than the reassuring wartime headlines suggested.

Our friend Sara Vladic explores that remarkable history in The Dangerous Shore, along with the loss of USS Eagle 56, another wreck located by the Nomad team. For anyone fascinated by the war off Maine’s coast, her book offers a compelling look at the stories behind the discoveries.

Congratulations to the Nomad team on this remarkable achievement—and on returning attention to Cornwallis and the forty-three people who never came home.
