SM UB 110 was a German U-boat class UB III , which the First World War was used. The only commanding officer was Lieutenant Werner Fürbringer . It was rammed and sunk on July 18, 1918 by the destroyer HMS Garry off the east coast of England .

The crew was initially able to save themselves from the sinking submarine except for the two radio operators. Meanwhile, the sinking wreck continued to be fired at by the destroyer and the escort ships ML 49 and ML 263 . The vehicles then shot at the survivors floating in the water, so that only 13 of the 34 crew members survived.

The boat was lifted and later scrapped. Photographs of the boat were released in 2016.
