HM Submarine C29

HM Submarine C29

C29 was involved in the U-boat trap tactic. The tactic was to use a decoy trawler to tow a submarine. When a U-boat was sighted, the tow line and communication line was slipped and the submarine would attack the U-boat. The tactic was partly successful, but was abandoned after the loss of two C-class submarines. In both cases, all the crew were lost. C29 was one of the two C class submarines sunk because of the tactic. She was mined when her trawler Ariadne strayed into a minefield in the Humber Estuary on 29 August 1915. This community includes all 17 men lost with her.
