A Nazi submarine that sunk in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II has been unearthed by German researchers off the coast of the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, AP reports. The same type of submarine - 67m-long VIIC U-boat - was portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s classic film Raiders of the lost Ark. The Rebikoff-Niggeler Foundation says the wreck of U-581 was found last September at a depth of about 900 metres near the Azores island of Pico. The U-581 was tasked with taking down the British squad carrier Llangibby Castle in February 1942, but it failed the mission and was sunk by the British destroyer Westcott before it could finish the job.

A top draw for some of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to New England's weekend Sailfest was surely the Freedom Schooner Amistad, replica of the United States' most famous slavery vessel, even as many were unaware of the suspense behind its eventual appearance at the annual tall ships gathering. The original Amistad was the setting for an 1839 mutiny aboard the Spanish slave ship bound for Cuba with 53 kidnapped Africans who were held in a small New Haven, Connecticut jail for a year before President John Quincy Adams convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to release them.

At the WorldFest 2014 International Film Festival in Houston, RWE Dea won the platinum award in the documentary category with “The Breagh Story”. The film also won the silver award in the energy category at this year’s WorldMedia Festival held in Hamburg. The documentary tells the story of one of RWE Dea’s largest projects – from the exploration of the Breagh gas discovery and the installation of the production platform, all the way through to first gas produced in October 2013. “Breagh was one of the most demanding projects ever undertaken by RWE Dea, both in terms of its timeline and because of the engineering challenges involved,” explained Rene Pawel, Senior Vice President Production Europe RWE Dea AG.
