The Royal Navy submarine sank during training exercises on January 16, 1914, resulting in the loss of all eleven crew members aboard.
The vessel represents an early phase of British submarine development, marking the transition from experimental designs to operational military submarines.
Access to the wreck site requires special permission from the Ministry of Defence under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986.
Modern sonar surveys reveal the submarine remains largely intact, providing researchers with information about early 20th-century submarine construction techniques.
