U-1003 was a German submarine Type VIIC/41. She was laid down on the 18th January 1943 and commissioned on the the 9th December 1943. She completed 2 patrols during her career. During her maiden voyage, U-1003 was scuttled by the Canadian frigate HMCS New Glasgow. The collision damaged her periscope and detached her snorkel, which allowed water to enter the conning tower. Since her lower hatch was sealed she was able to stay under until depth charges forced her to come up. The commander tried to dive again but she was losing power and the crew was forced to abandon ship. Place Sunk Northern Channel 8 - 10 miles north of Inistrahull beacon (Malin Hd.) Loss of Life 17 dead and 31 survivors
