The Rest of the Story
The Mount Temple was sunk by the German surface raider Moewe during world War I. The Moewe, renamed Oldenburg was sunk by Allied aircraft late in World War II. An expedition to dive on and explore the Oldenburg wrecksite is planned for early 2005.
She is also the only accessible German surface raider from either World War; all others were lost in action in deep waters or were scrapped. The 2005 Oldenburg expedition will be an exciting visit to this historically important shipwreck. This is the whole story.
