On May 5, 1945, with Germany's surrender hours away, U-853 torpedoed a collier off Point Judith. The Navy hunted the submarine down overnight and sank it with all 55 aboard, the last U-boat destroyed in American waters. The wreck lies in 130 feet just offshore, a war grave divers still visit. The war in the Atlantic ended, in effect, within sight of this beach.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
