WW1 submarine found after 93 years

The wreck of HM Submarine E18 has been found after a 10 year search and over 90 years after it was sunk in the Baltic Sea during the First World War. The Captain's hatred of using the boat's toilet facilities while submerged almost resulted in the submarine being sunk. He prefered to relieve himself over the side after ordering the submarine be surfaced in the morning and it was on one of these occaisions the submarine was spotted by a Zeppelin and nearly sunk.
