A group of divers working off the coast of Scotland found the wreck of what's believed to be a World War I ship that sank with more than 500 sailors on board.
The HMS Hawke was torpedoed by a German U-boat on October 15, 1913, according to Lost in Waters Deep, a U.K. agency that memorializes naval losses from World War I. The Royal Navy warship caught fire and sank in fewer than eight minutes, according to CBS News partner the BBC, with just 70 sailors surviving. In total, 524 sailors died when the ship sank near northern Scotland.
A "group of very experienced technical divers" determined the site where they believe the Hawke sank, Lost in Waters Deep said. They dove to the wreck, which is about 360 feet underwater, on August 11.
