David Jourdan on CNN, Tuesday March 25, 2014. Maine Underwater Explorer Chronicles Discovery of Long-Sought Israeli Sub June 29, 2009 Reported By: Tom Porter on MPBN On January 25, 1968, the newly-commissioned Israeli submarine, the Dakar, transmitted her last communication. The Dakar was on her way from Gosport in England - where she had been purchased from the British government - to Haifa in Israel. Her last port of call was Gibraltar. Shortly afterward, she and her crew of 70 disappeared beneath the Mediterranean Sea without a trace. After nearly 28 years of searching unsuccessfully for the wreck of the Dakar, the Israelis enlisted the help of a Maine-based underwater exploration company Nauticos - led by former U.S. submariner David Jourdan. David Jourdan, who' s based in Cape Porpoise, near Kennebunkport, spent three years combing the Mediterranean before the Dakar was eventually discovered. His book "Never Forgotten: The Search and Discovery of Israel's lost Submarine Dakar" tells the story of the search for the ill-fated vessel. |
