Hundreds of bottles of rare cognac and liqueur from a ship that was sunk by a German U-boat during World War I was salvaged by the Ocean X team. 

Peter Lindberg, from the Ocean X Team said they are researching the cognac and talking to Bacardi to try to determine the value of the haul. 

“We don’t know yet if it is drinkable. We get a fraction of smell from the Benedictine bottles and it smells sweet and from herbs,” said Mr Lindberg. 

They recovered 600 bottles of De Haartman & Co. cognac and 300 bottles of Beneductine liquer.
