Review
The U Boat Story is not only amazing but totally unique when it comes to tourism in this country. There are only a handful of these U Boats on show anywhere around the world, and I feel proud to say Britain is one of those rare places that have one on show.
Costing five million pounds not only is this seen by its owners as a huge tourist pull, but also they feel as if they have a part to play in the U Boats preservation. This preservation is clear to see upon a visit to the site, where you can now get up, close and personal with a vessel that would only be seen before in old war movies.
