U-534, one of only four German World War II U-boats still preserved, is getting a new lease on life. A multimillion-pound project is underway at Woodside, Birkenhead, England, to give the vessel a long-overdue restoration, spearheaded by the group Big Heritage.

To augment the effort, Big Heritage has created an engagement site where naval history enthusiasts worldwide can contribute their thoughts and ideas for the project. The group also has launched “How To Fix A U-Boat,” a website offering an inside look at the day-to-day restoration and planning work.
