What started as his private obsession went on to challenge official accounts of the escape and bring together the lost pieces of a story that touches on the history of Britain and China up to the present day. Years later, while Beijing-based scuba instructor Steven Schwankert was looking for nearby wrecks to dive, he found HMS Poseidon on a list of unexplored sites. Three hours later, six sailors surfaced – barely conscious and bitterly cold – the first ever to escape from a sunken submarine using a proto-scuba device. Half of the submarine’s crew escaped in the first few seconds after their boat collided with a cargo ship, but the rest were entombed as the submarine sank.
