Welcome to my pages about the salvage of the 
German WW II Uboat U-534

On this website I will give you an impression about the salvage of the Uboat itself
The majority of the photos you'll find here are taken by me during the salvage operation
I'm an officer in the Netherlands navy and advised Smit Tak during the salvage 
with respect to handling WW II explosive ordnance
 Smit Tak was the company that brought U-534 back to the surface in August 1993

The necessary material used to complete the background story and additional photos to clearify items I found
on the many websites allready written about U-boats.  Where used I made appropriate links in order to give
credit to the author of that material
