From Radio Australia: Hopes of locating Australian sub lost off PNG in 1914
An Australian organisation hopes the wreck of a World War One era submarine can be located in PNG (Papau New Guinea) waters before the centenary of it's loss.
The Australian submarine AE-1 sank off the coast of Rabaul in September 1914, just at the start of the war, with the loss of all hands.
It's exact location has remained a mystery ever since, but AE-1 Incorporated, a group of interested Australian including retired Navy personnel and descendants of the crew, hopes new technology and money to fund a renewed search will help find the wreck in time for the 100th anniversary of the sinking in 2014.
