April 27th marks the 81st anniversary of the sinking of HMS Urge, a Royal Navy submarine of the Second World War that was stationed in Malta. The location of the lost submarine, her crew and passengers was a mystery until 2019, when the wreck site was discovered during a remote sensing survey conducted off the coast of Valletta. In 2021, a Heritage Malta and University of Malta dive team descended to the seabed and conclusively identified the wreck as HMS Urge.

Join us for a presentation by renowned Maritime Archaeology Prof Timmy Gambin as he charts the story of this heroic boat from construction to action to discovery and memorialisation. A special introduction by Francis Dickinson, grandson of the Commanding Officer, EP Tomkinson, and a key figure in the search of HMS Urge.

There will also be an opportunity to explore HMS Urge and other wartime wrecks through Heritage Malta's Dive into History 360 Experience using virtual reality headsets and underwater 360-footage.
