Detail InformationEdit

The U-8047 Submarine Museum is a floating museum currently moored at Clarence Dock, Leeds, England, having travelled along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The 45-foot (14 m) narrowboat has been converted, both inside and out, into a reduced-scale replica of a German submarine or U-boat, and offers historical education to children. The museum was previously called the U-8047 Replica Submarine but changed its name in 2012.
Visitors can step aboard and walk through the boat, via the captain’s cabin, with charts, maps and World War II memorabilia, a working galley and heads, a control room, with simulated sonar, radar, periscope, helm position and radio area and a forward replica torpedo room, with crew bunks and imitation torpedoes.The original idea of the project was that of Lancashire businessman Richard Williams and was commissioned by his wife, Laurel, as a £60,000, 50th birthday present to him. The steelwork was fabricated by Collingwood Boats in Liverpool, with the interior being fitted out by family members and friends. The name “U-8047”, which was given to the boat was the brainchild of Williams’ wife, and represents a distorted car number plate version of U-BOAT. The boat was launched in October 2010, at Botany Bay, in Lancashire.
