German Submarine U-1005, while under tow, foundered and sank about 23.5 milesNW (roughly 340 degrees) of Tory Island Lighthouse,Ireland at position 55 33'5.26"N 8 26'40.27"W on 5 Dec. 1945. She was taking part in Operation Deadlight (the scuttling of unwanted captured Submarines) at the time. U-1005 (Hermann Lauth, Commanding) was wrongly credited with the sinking of the USAT (aka SS) Roanoke in the Irish about 3.7 miles NW of South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey, UK. (aka Holyhead) on 11 Jan. 1945. This error was reported in one part of an artical on Ancestry.com about John H. Crowson, a crewman aboard the Roanoke at the time of the sinking. The U-1055 (Rudolf Meyer, commanding) was actually responsible for that sinking as well as that of the Normandy Coast at the same position and about the same time. U-1005 was commissioned 30 Dec. 1943 and surrendered at Bergen, Norway on 14 May 1945 having had two Commanding Officers, Jochim Methner 30 Dec 1943-2JUly 1944 and Hermann Lauth 3 July 1944-14 May 1945. She made two patrols and wasn't credited with sinking or damaging any ships. U-1005 was transferred from Bergen, Norway to Loch Ryan on 30 May 1945 for Operation Deadlight as mentioned earlier.
