Shipwreck · Cape Lookout, North Carolina
U-352
A Type VIIC U-boat sunk by the Coast Guard cutter Icarus on 9 May 1942 south of Cape Lookout after a botched attack on the cutter. Thirty-three of her crew survived and became prisoners of war. The hull lies in about 115 ft (35 m) and is one of the most-visited wrecks in North Carolina.
U-352 is a war grave: thirteen of her crew died in her. Divers visit, and the site is treated with respect; nothing is taken.
