SM U-18
SM U-18 was one of 329 submarines serving in the Imperial German Navy in World War I. ''U-18'' engaged in the commerce warfare in the First Battle of the Atlantic.

As ''U-18'' was making her way back out through Hoxa Sound to the open sea, her periscope was spotted by a guard boat. The trawler ''Dorothy Gray'' altered course and rammed the periscope, rendering it unserviceable. ''U-18'' then suffered a failure of her diving plane motor and the boat became unable to maintain her depth, at one point even impacting the seabed. She was rammed a second time by the ''Dorothy Gray'' and eventually, her captain was forced to surface and scuttle his command just outside the Hoxa Gate, and all crew members, except one, were picked up by British boats.〔Koerver.〕 . One man died and 22 were captured.〔WWI Uboats U18〕
The wreck lies below the surface just outside the Hoxa Gate, at .
