Read previewMore than a century after a German U-boat torpedoed the USS Jacob Jones off the coast of Britain during World War I, a team of divers retrieved the American destroyer's massive brass bell. On December 6, 1917 — eight months after the US joined the fight — the Jacob Jones was attacked by a submarine off the southwest coast of Britain. But the effort to retrieve the Jacob Jones' bell was pursued because of plundering concerns, retired Rear Adm. Sam Cox said in a statement about the mission. AdvertisementMost wreck sites from both World War I and World War II have been stripped of their valuable items; anything brass or bronze is gone, Cox told The Post. The Jacob Jones was the first and only US destroyer lost in the war, according to the US Naval Institute.

An entire pod of 55 pilot whales died on Sunday after a mass stranding on a beach in Scotland. The pod may have washed up on the beach because they wanted to help an injured female. An entire pod of 55 pilot whales died on Sunday morning after a mass stranding on a remote beach in Western Isles, Scotland, police said. Most of the whales died shortly after washing up in low-tide waters, although 15 of them were still breathing when rescue teams arrived on the beach. The incident is the "largest fatal mass stranding event we've had in Scotland for decades," the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme said on Twitter on Sunday.

More than 50 pilot whales died on Sunday after they were stranded along a beach on the Isle of Lewis in northwest Scotland. By the time responders arrived on the beach to administer first aid to the surviving whales, a majority were already dead, the charity added. The other whale restranded itself and subsequently died, British Divers Marine Life Rescue said. It can take a frantic effort to save a whale’s life after it is stranded. Pilot whales — which come from the same family as dolphins and porpoises — can grow to 24 feet in length and weigh up to 6,600 pounds.

☆ More than 50 pilot whales die after mass stranding on Scottish island

London CNN —A pod of more than 50 pilot whales has died after a mass stranding on a northwestern Scottish island, according to a marine charity on the ground. Pilot whales are sociable animals, so if one becomes stranded, experts believe others from the pod will follow and also become stranded. Known to be gregarious, pilot whales have “extremely strong social and emotional bonds with one another,” Jarvis told CNN. In the UK, the largest stranding of pilot whales was in Scotland in 2011, when 77 were found stuck on the country’s northerly shores, according to Jarvis. Tasmania’s largest stranding was in 2020, when more than 450 pilot whales were found.
