WW2: The Mystery of U-166 In July 1942, the German U-boat U-166 was attacked and sunk by the U.S. Navy Patrol Craft 566. As the only U-boat lost in the Gulf of Mexico, the U-166 represents an important piece of Louisiana and U.S. maritime history. Discovered and identified in 2001 by Dan Warren and Rob Church of C&C Technologies External Link, the U-166 rests in 5,000 ft of water some 50 mi southeast of New Orleans. The site where U-166 lies, at 28°37′N 90°45′W Coordinates: 28°37′N 90°45′W has now been designated a war grave due to its crew of 52 being entombed there, and is protected from any future attempts to salvage it... youtube/watch?v=JeTMkZ69rlA
