| Fate: | On 22 August 1916, E16 was sighted on the surface some thirty-five miles east of Yarmouth by the sister submarine E38. A group of warships was also sighted by E38 a short while later. Splashes were seen on the surface in the distance which may have been depth charges exploding. There were also reports of German warships attacking a periscope on the same day. E16 did not return from patrol and was presumed to have been lost. |
1914 - 8th Flotilla. HMS Maidstone, Harwich.
The wreck of Submarine E16 was found in early 2001 by a German diver, Rolf Schuett, in the Heligoland Bight north of the Dutch Island of Terschelling. It was found to have a large, gaping hole in the hull, which indicates a mine or a torpedo explosion.
It was thought E16 was sunk after entering a minefield from the swept channel, the reported damage may be the confirmation of this theory. The divers reported a second submarine wreck in close proximity to E16.

My great uncle John Sampson Prior was aboard E16 wen she, was lost. He had been in the navy since 1909 and joined the sub one month b4 as a stoker. He was Buckland Monachorum in Devon. His mother was devastated and didn't change his room hoping he would come home. His name is on the memorial at crapstone
